So, Blackburn have Bolton, Norwich, and Swansea left to play. They've missed advancement, but also avoided relegation, and indeed look set to finish around the middle of the field.

The Go-Away-Dog-Song. An instant classic.

Cubs pulled back to .500 with a nifty ninth-inning win over the Diamondbacks, which left them also at .500.

Astonishingly enough, Buttgieg actually gets it. I really hadn't given the man credit for much intelligence.

South Bend was a nice place when I visited in 1963. We were in town to watch a farm team play ballgames over in Mishawaka. And even though I was only 9, I also fancied that I might attend Notre Dame someday, so we walked around the campus a bit. I was bored. They still made Studebakers in South Bend at the time, though only for a few more weeks longer. I also ate my first-ever McDonald's hamburger and french fries in SB on that trip. The McD's is actually still there. Our hotel across the street – a googie delight – is not, alas. Gobbled up by a hospital, I see. I remember watching 'Fractured Flickers' on the ultra-modern plastic portable b/w TV in our hotel room. Hans Conried and all. Such are my memories of South Bend. Such are my memories of South Bend.
