Padres 19, Cubs 5: What a pathetic excuse for a baseball team

Oh, I used to be disgusted.
And now I try to be amused

— Elvis Costello, “The Angels Want To Wear My Red Shoes”

There are a number of ways I could have approached this game recap (and trust me, I thought about almost all of them).

I thought of coming here and simply saying:

The Cubs lost to the Padres 19-5, and the teams will play again Thursday afternoon.”

... and just ending things there.

Would you have been amused?

That’s about all we have left, isn’t it?
