“It’s goodbye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies” – Jack Kerouac, On the Road
Has a sweep ever felt as satisfying as the one the Cubs completed last night? Victor Caratini was all the offense the North Siders needed as he hit two bombs and drove in all four runs in Chicago’s 4-1 win over the Mets at Citi Field. And he did it against reigning NL Cy Young winner, Jacob deGrom.
The Cubs came to town reeling on the heels of a three-game sweep at home against the Nationals, staring straight down a loaded barrel at New York’s top three pitchers, and won every game.
