There could not have been a better time for me to get away for a few days at a place with no television. I could have pulled up Marquee, ESPN, or the radio feed on my phone, but why interrupt what was otherwise a great holiday weekend on a lake? The Cubs have been straight-up awful lately and the only reprieve was a rainout in St. Louis.
Hey, they at least broke their six-game homerless streak when Ian Happ went yard twice on Sunday. Is it just me or does he seem to snap out of funks right when it seems as though the fans who ride him the hardest are almost starting to sound reasonable?
