Ed. note: I might ninja-edit this later, but for now I’m posting in all it’s (even more) imperfect glory so I can get some sleep.
The Cubs were dead, ground into submission by a Giant juggernaut led by…wait, that can’t be right. Matt Moore and Conor Gillaspie? *Checks box score* For most of the first 8 innings Tuesday night, it looked for all the world as though there might indeed be something to this whole Even-Year BS everyone kept talking about.
It wasn’t just the huge performances from unlikely San Francisco stars, though, as the Cubs were nothing short of moribund after the 5th inning.
