I don't go outside when it's 102 degrees. I stay inside and play with Booboo. (And clean my desk and the living room, make up time I haven't had to blog, listen to Murmur by R.E.M. for the first time in far too long, play a bunch of Halo 2, make blueberry pancakes, and give Booboo a bath.)

Charlie cried and fell asleep before the Cubs came back from losing 0-3 with big hits by Ramirez and Henry Blanco, blew the lead in the bottom of the 9th, and won in the 10th on a Neifi Perez grand slam, rescuing Dusty from getting outmanaged by LaRussa again. Cubs beat the Cards 8-4 and took the series at Busch Stadium. When I tell him tomorrow morning that Henry Blanco and Neifi Perez had 6 RBI, he's going to give me that stunned, “oh no they didn't” look.

Update: For the record, Charlie sucked on his fingers and screamed when I told him.
