Weird Radio Thing Today [View all]

We have 2 sportsradio stations in Chicago.
I flipped to one in my car & a baseball game was on.
I thought "Yeah, the Cubs are playing."
Not being one to listen to baseball on the radio, I changed to the other.
Sure enough, the Sox are playing too.
After a few seconds, the announcer mentioned Pete Crow-Armstrong. "Wait a second, PCR plays for the Cubs" I thought.
Duh! The Cubs were playing the Sox! I had completely forgotten that series was coming up.
