The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Right? We Mets fans already know where we're finishing.

Embrace the suck.

At least my Islanders are doing well for once.

I got to see them beat the Caps in OT up in NY over Thanksgiving. I haven't been to the Coliseum in at least 20 years, but truth be told, it wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be from everything I've heard. Plus given that the Dead played there, it's hallowed ground.

:o
At least J! will be in repeats for six of those weeks. :roll:
(Thanks for the heads up, though.)
Postscript: WLS says it will only be broadcasting 25 Cubs games next summer (compared with the 60 games WGN was airing yearly). So that means 45 more games shunted to cable, and fewer opportunities to disrupt the Jeopardy! schedule. So, not as big an issue as it might have been.
Looks like seven weekday games:
Wednesday, April 8th @ 1:20 (Season 31) http://abc7chicago.com/entertainment/pr ... 15/637522/ (3:10 am)
Friday, April 17th @ 1:20 (Season 31)
Thursday, June 25th @ 1:20 (Season 31) http://abc7chicago.com/entertainment/pr ... 15/663655/ (3:10 am)
Wednesday, July 22nd @ 11:35 (Season 31)
Thursday, August 13th @ 1:20 (repeat of ToC final game 1) http://abc7chicago.com/entertainment/pr ... 15/927257/ (3:00 am)
Friday, September 18th @ 1:20 (Season 32) http://abc7chicago.com/entertainment/pr ... on/991203/ (3:05 am)
Friday, September 25th @ 1:20 (Season 32) http://abc7chicago.com/entertainment/pr ... n/1002152/ (3:05 am)

Thanks, that's a great aid for planning. Apparently only one of those falls in summer J! rerun territory.

Even further off topic, but I have to mention this somewhere ... as last night's Cubs debut revealed little progress with respect to a familiar series of woes — 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position, multiple innings with a runner left on third (oh, and no runs scored the whole game), a major defensive lapse in right field to compound what we've become used to at short — and let's not forget the severe flaws in the polish on our newly acquired überstar starting pitcher — I hope I can be indulged in sharing this bit of doggerel that I composed almost three years ago, but the spirit of which seems to still apply:

These are the queasiest possible words:
Second and third with no outs.
Lineup of Cubbies with bats for the birds,
Second and third with no outs.
Fecklessly flailing each time that they hike out,
Yielding a foul bunt, a pop-up and strikeout,
Ghoulish tableau for an unholy psych-out:
Second and third with no outs.
Poo-tee-weet? So it goes.

The Cubs lost before the game started. Opening night and that is the version of "God Bless America" for the nation to hear? London Lo has the appropriate last name.

How about another poem?

Lester is rich, but can he pitch?
