Trip to Scranton...

For the first time in many years, the Chiefs are in 2nd place and still have a chance to win the division title. Usually, they are mathematically eliminated long before the All Star break but their affiliation with the Nationals must have infused something in this team. These guys want to win! With our new found freedom, Rob and I decided to drive to Scranton Wilkes-Barre to watch the Chiefs play the Yankees (the 1st place Yankees, of course.) The stadium is beautiful (amazing what an influx of millions can do to a stadium) and it was fun to watch an engaged crowd. I felt like an idiot cheering for the Chiefs...we were the lone voices in the crowd. Bottom of the 9th and the Chiefs are down by 1 run with runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out. Poor Rob, the Chiefs hit into a double play.

It was a long ride home.
