Slurp that Slurpee

There are six 7-Elevens within one mile of my apartment, which seems like a dangerously large number.

Speaking of places that are near 7-Elevens, at Wrigley Field today, the Cubs beat the Marlins in 16 innings. Which brings to mind a couple of quotes that were in the sports section of today's Los Angeles Times:

"They saw a great game. They got their money's worth." -- Garret Anderson, Angels outfielder

"They saw 11 innings, they saw every guy play, what else can they do?" -- Mark Grudzielanek, Dodgers second baseman

So I'm surprised they didn't just stop that Cubs-Marlins game after 11 or 12 innings. I mean, other sports don't seem to have a problem with regular-season games ending in a tie. Baseball needs to get with the times, dude. Also, they should figure out a way to have the balls glow blue when they're shown on TV, and there should be some sort of dancing animated robots appearing onscreen during the TV coverage as well. And cheerleaders, just like in the XFL. (Note to Bud Selig: These ideas aren't free, but please take my fee from the Yankees' payroll rather than the Devil Rays'. Thank you.)
