No matter what is going on with our lives or how far apart we live, whenever the Cubs and Braves begin their regular three game series, it gives Drew and I a chance to talk and catch up. If you think about it, it's quite amazing that a simple baseball game will remind us that we haven't followed up with each other in a while and that a phone call is well overdue. The feeling of watching your phone ring after your team has just been swept isn't the call you're excited to take, but I knew it was coming and I knew I'd be the one starting the call if the tables were turned.

This brings us to this weekend where Matt Sage had one of the greatest ideas ever: have your bachelor party in Omaha during the College World Series. His wedding was at a perfect time and Omaha was a central location for everyone that attended.

What makes it even better was sitting through the 4+ hour opening game and watching Stanford explode for 11 runs in the top of the ninth inning. I felt bad for FSU because I know how hard it is to come back from at least 5 runs in the last inning.

It was a great weekend and my hat is off to Sage for coming up with a great idea and setting the bar high for anyone else to follow.
