Pujols Nightmare

Last night I had one of the scariest nightmares I've ever had. This is not a joke. It really happened. Randy Moore, my baseball buddy and our Minister of Media at Second, broke the news to me as gently as he could.

Randy nonchalantly mentioned how he thought the Cubs were unwise to not start Pujols in his first game with them. I thought he misspoke, but he quickly realized I had not heard the news.

Randy immediately switched into "minister mode" and began to speak words of comfort to me. I cried a while, but then regained my composure and told Randy, "I'm glad Albert will get to finish his career in Wrigley Field. I hope he hits 70 home runs a year there."

Then I woke up. That nightmare shook me. I am confident it was a fluke and not a foretaste of actual events yet to come.
