For those of you familiar with the iconic comic strip Calvin and Hobbes, its creator Bill Watterson occasionally had its protagonists play a “sport” called Calvinball, in which the only rule is that you never play it the same way twice.
In the strip above, the score was “Q to 12.” The score of the Cubs/Dodgers game Sunday afternoon only felt like it was Q to 12. Instead, it was Dodgers 11, Cubs 9, and the Cubs thus got swept in a four-game series at Dodger Stadium for the first time in 57 years.
