Last time through these parts Cub Tracks made like a banana and split. Today, we stuck around to the finish of Saturday’s game despite the urgent need to clean house, which still hasn’t been done as of this writing. Instead I spent the afternoon trying to watch A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS and THE OMEGA MAN simultaneously and making those little biscuit-and-lil-smoky appetizers.
I officially have a beef against Travis Shaw, but we still have meat loaf and the Cubs can take the series today and move on to the other beer garden across the Mississippi and see if they can’t take that series, too, and clinch the division in the process, thereby proving me and any other naysayers wrong and moving to the postseason for the third year in a row.
