I love crooked numbers, but they’re as hard to keep lit as a ham. Let’s hope the Cubs can manage to keeps them numbers burning for a little while here, cuz that was fun to watch. It looked like the game might get away for a heartbeat or two, but the Cubs got everything cleaned up, got the lead, and kept it. Satisfying. More runs, please.
...and it’s great to write one of these things when it’s not after an offday. I’ve been out of step for nearly a week; discombobulated, verklempt, out of sorts.
