Does anyone else feel emotionally drained after yesterday’s game? The celebration of Kyle Hendricks and everything he’s meant to the Cubs added quite a bit of meaning to what was otherwise another trudging step toward the end of the season. There’s just one game left and it really feels like they could just simulate it and get on with the Cubs-less playoffs.
Speaking of which, I’m rooting hard for a chaos scenario that sees the Mets and Diamondbacks win while the Braves lose. That would force a doubleheader on Monday in which the winner of the first game moves on and the loser would have to play a second game to see if they can make it to the postseason.
