Well, the Chicago Cubs season is over. I’m a bit disappointed, but I don’t blame the team or anything. The New York Mets were just better, and there was no lack of effort on the Cubs’ part. They simply got outplayed, and there’s no shame in that. Baseball is weird, baseball is cruel, and baseball remains beautiful because we had a hell of a season with these Cubs, who look to remain good for a long time to come.
There’s this Kyle Schwarber guy, who didn’t always look good on defense in left field (or catcher, whenever he got the shot), but that bat:
