A case of the Mondays

If you're a White Sox fan in a predominantly Cubs-friendly office, then today is probably not going well. But once, you've sifted through the cute "your team sucks" e-mails, take solace in the fact that it's late June and your Pale Hose are leading a division they probably don't have any business leading. Besides, it could be worse.

And if you're one of those overly-giddy Northsiders peppering pro-Sox co-workers with catcalls, realize it's only late June and your Cubbies still have a long road of curse-reversing to do before you can die in peace.

That being said, this weekend at Wrigley was more lopsided than Placido Polanco's head. The Cubs unequivocally emerged as the better ballclub, Lou pressed the right buttons more often than Ozzie and Aramis Ramirez played like he'd never been a Pittsburgh Pirate at all.

For a fan base that falls head-over-heels for their team anytime they show any glimpse of brilliance, you understand why this incarnation of the Cubs is so appealing. That 100-year anniversary business just adds fuel to the fire and pictures like this only enflame the most sensitive of North Side sensibilities.
