Tomorrow

The Cardinals beat the Pirates 7 - 2 tonight in 2 hours and 46 minutes.

There were three homeruns to cut in this game which I always enjoy, but the telecast itself was at times bumpy.

There was a messy billboard and I boxed the TD (excellent by the way) into a corner with a confusing command concerning the Foxtrax element.

Other than that, the telecast was fairly clean.

I like the Pittsburgh crew. They work hard, they listen, and they are fun to be around.

The past three telecasts were fairly enjoyable and I look forward to going back to Pittsburgh in September.

Now my dilemma.

Tomorrow is an off day.

It is 1AM and I just arrived in my room in Chicago.

I know I am in Chicago, which is my favorite city in baseball, so I shouldn't complain but I don't care for off-days on the road.

I have been coming to Chicago for 25 years.

I have been there and done that.

To show you how off-days mess with my thinking, I am actually considering going to the Cleveland Indians at Chicago White Sox game tomorrow night.

Whatever happens, I will try to make the most of tomorrow - an off-day on the road.
