That inning saved an umpire's life.

He's still a thin-skinned asshole.

That's about as much damn fun as I've had at Wrigley Field in 40 years of going there.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

The frequent opportunities wouldn't rival the Yankees, clearly, but last year the Cubs won the World Series. 

People forget that.

That's incorrect. They were losing by 3 to the Giants in Game 4 of the NLDS and I heard they couldn't even get s hit off Cue to the next day.

Alright alright I forgive you, TJ, on the condition that you join me on Twitter for the next 5 years shaming the "fans" who trip over themselves to declare them "done" before September if they're still around .500 and within 6 games of a spot.  I mean, now that they've actually won it all, and did so in a postseason where they found themselves looking into the abyss at points in all 3 series (with each moment becoming progressively more desperate) it infuriates me to see so-called fans write them off at various points this season.  This team deserves a little better and those fans truly don't deserve to enjoy the ride that's coming.

I've just assumed from day one that the Cubs are going to win it all this year, too.  They don't know when they're beaten.

I've decided that the fact that key parts of the rotation have missed significant time this year is an advantage, because it means that the now-healthy arms are better rested and stronger for an extended post season run. And, uh, the bullpen having troubles since the All Star Break is also an advantage, because, um, better with adversity or something. Yeah.

Good prep for the post-season.

And I mean for my heart, not the team.
