As Good As It Gets

How good of a Saturday was this? First I get to watch the Illini defeat the No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers at Memorial Stadium and then I get home to watch the Cubs finish getting swept at home in the NLDS 3-0 to the Arizona Diamondbacks! The Illini game was very exciting as they jumped out 17-0 and were able to beat Wisconsin to go 5-1 on the year, and 3-0 in the Big Ten. It was pretty warm at the game, but it was well worth it to see the biggest win the Illini have had in many years. Hopefully they can keep up their winning ways.

Brandon is happy to see the Diamondbacks win since that is the same as his tee ball team (and I'm happy to see the Cubs lose)! He was invited to a Cubs-themed birthday party on Monday and the invitation said to wear your Cubs gear. We had told him he could wear his Cardinals hat but he said he wanted to wear his Diamondbacks hat. At the time he didn't know that they were playing the Cubs in the NLDS. He watched part of the game tonight and was cheering on "his team". Who am I to deny a 6 year-old wanting to wear his tee ball hat to a birthday party?!?!
