There is a country music song titled “Gone” that they play at Sloan Park in Mesa whenever a Cubs player hits a spring training home run.
The chorus goes:
Gone like a freight-train, gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the civil war, bang bang
Gone like a ‘59 Cadillac
Like all them good things that ain’t never coming backRight now, what feels like it “ain’t never coming back” is the Cubs winning another baseball game, as they blew yet another lead — third game in a row — and lost to the Reds 3-2, their eighth consecutive defeat.
