Tonight’s Cubs/Brewers matchup was pregnant with anticipation, whether it was for the Cubs to string consecutive wins together or for Kris Bryant to join the home run club from which he had thus far been denied admittance. Unfortunately, the result was a bit of an abomination, like the baby from V.
Don’t get me wrong, Kris Bryant’s first career home run was magnificent and very worthy of the unicorn’s regal bearing. I had been working on a forthcoming post about Mets phenom Noah Syndergaard and walked in just in time to see Bryant launch the moonshot, the significance of which was evident even to my wife.
