Final Four rent
Some entrepreneurs in San Antonio have figured out how to make a few extra bucks off the Final Four. With a dearth of quality hotel rooms in the area, they're doing a little price-gouging and offering their own homes for rent.
I suppose this is not a ground-breaking concept. People rent out their vacation homes all the time.
I'm just not (nor will I ever be), one of them.
It's just a little bit too familiar for me, ESPECIALLY when college students are involved. You rent to 3 or 4 of them, and 43 end up back at your 3-bedroom condo, every inch of the place defiled! I don't want my home to end up as the background for a homemade video on Youtube.
But apparently, some people aren't worried about that
On a Cubs note, Lou Piniella made his first lineup change of the season . . . 3 GAMES IN!!! He switched Alfonso Soriano and Ryan Theriot in the lineup, moving Soriano back to the leadoff spot. And it worked. Soriano knocked in 2 runs and scored another, prompting me to proclaim Lou
"THE LINEUP GENIUS!!!"
