Cubs win! Cubs win! Took me a few minutes to finish the Leroy Nieman-style watercolor painting, but it was worth the wait!
Well that was one of the most dramatic games I can ever recall. The best news is, next time they meet in the National League Championship Series, we don’t have to feel conflicted about rooting for the Dodgers!
(So I suppose that this means that Chicagoland native Hillary Clinton loses Ohio now. And isn’t it terrible that Rahm Emanuel hosts the victory parade? Maybe the reaql “Curse of the Billy Goat” is that it gives us the billy-goat-like Trump as President…. OK, sorry — talk about sports or whatever you want.)
About Greg Diamond
Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-disabled and semi-retired, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally ran for office against jerks who otherwise would have gonr unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that.
Corrupt party hacks hate him. He's OK with that too.
He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.)
His daughter is a professional campaign treasurer. He doesn't usually know whom she and her firm represent. Whether they do so never influences his endorsements or coverage. (He does have his own strong opinions.) But when he does check campaign finance forms, he is often happily surprised to learn that good candidates he respects often DO hire her firm. (Maybe bad ones are scared off by his relationship with her, but they needn't be.)
*The Cubbies earned every run and made every play that had to to take this series.
When Hendrick’s threw out Martinez or Santana or whoever in the fourth….that was
amazing. Surely, one, if not the greatest game 7 in World Series History. The cool
thing is that Obama immediately invited the Cubs to the Whitehouse before he leaves.
One more thing: Joe Madden has rightly assured himself a place in the MLB
Hall of Fame…if he isn’t there already!
