If only I could heed my admonishment to my very own self.

To wit, Chuck, you care too much, this is not healthy.

But noooooooooooooo!

Oh, the ups and downs that can determine one’s state of mind.

On Tuesday, the Cardinal nine was upended by hapless Bellarmine.

Then my Detroit Tigers were down two going into bottom of 11th against the BoSox. This, after St. X grad Trey Sweeney kept them afloat in bottom of 10 with a game-tying RBI single.

Resurgent Javy Baez hit a walk off three run tater to win the game. His second three run shot of the night.

On Wednesday, the NFL released next season’s schedule.

Though it’s mid-May, I’m already calling next season over for my Detroit Lions. As if their time hadn’t already passed, after losing to the Commanders, then losing both their OC and DC.

Next campaign, the Lions visit Baltimore, visit Cincy, visit Kansas City, the last two on consecutive weekends. Then the veritable coup de grace, away games against the Eagles and Washington. Again, on consecutive weekends.

Who did Dan Campbell piss off?

Wednesday night, the Tigers again walked off Boston in the bottom of 9th, with a pinch hit single. To complete a three game sweep.

Then today, the NCAA in its infinite cluelessness declared Aly Khalifa, a centerpiece for next year’s Louisville Cardinals, ineligible.

You know those lists of the ten wackiest roller coasters? This tops it.

Is the Greek God Fanaticus telling me it’s time to take up crocheting?
