The Cubs were so bad last night I have writer’s block. In the old days I’d light up, play some Grateful Dead, read something by Charles Bukowski, and wait for something to come to me, but I’ve neither the luxury nor the time this morning.

If anything, the Cubs proved a few things while getting pasted 13-2 by the Royals last night:
- Even the best teams have bad days, and few are worse than what we witnessed in yesterday’s game;
- I hope you wrote down “Tyler Chatwood, 2020 Cy Young Award winner” in pencil;
- A starter getting blasted out of the solar system by one of the weaker teams in baseball sure takes the heat off of a suspect bullpen, at least for one day;
- Craig Kimbrel, who actually lowered his WHIP from 4.
