Native American Summer
It's really hot again today, here in Native American Summer.
The Saint Plotniko Large-but-not-too-large-so-as-to-suggest-that-very-large-people-are-bad-or-anything Giants baseball team will take on the Chicago young-four-footed-animal-but-not-too-young-so-as-not-to-sound ageist-or-anything Cubs this afternoon, with not as much significance to the pennant race as there might have been.
Current First Place teams in the Amerikan League are the New York Certainly-not-to-denigrate-our-friends-from-the-Southern-States-or-anything Yankees, the Detroit Of-course-we-aren't-talking-about-the-endangered-ones-like-the-ones-they've-hunted-to-near-extinction-in-India-or-anything Tigers, and the California Our-good-atheist-friends-do-not-have-to-feel-the-least-bit-excluded-or-anything Angels.
The Wild Card team will probably be the Boston Hey-if-you-want-to-go-barefoot-it-is-perfectly-fine-with-everyone-in-this-organization Red Sox.
In the National League it looks like the Plotzers, Phoolies, Kurds and Jockeys, but the Atlanta Change-Our-Name?-Surely-You-Jest-Tomahawk Chop-Chief Nockahomas aren't out of it yet. Plot's rooting for 'em, just for old time's sake.

You're rooting for the Braves??? I take back my pledge to look kindly on the Dodgers (as long they weren't playing the Rockies).
And, stupidly, they are the Los Angeles Angels now. (I would have let that pass, but the whole Braves thing has wound me up a bit.)
Now I'd better check the paper to see whose really going to be in the playoffs.
OK, I lied. I'm rooting for 'em because of JJ-aka-PP and PatoJay. Hey. Got to stand up for your peeps.
