A Good Thing - The Base God collected the 2000th hit of his career last night as the Reds taxidermed the Cubs 14-5.
A Sad Thing - In the post-game presser Joey mentioned that his dog, Maris, died last year. I like to think he’s in doggy heaven now, chewing on the few thousand other baseballs Joey has sent to the Great Beyond throughout his career.
Absolutely Not At All A Charlie Thing - The Reds and Cubs will play in the Field of Dreams game next season. Thanks, but it’s dumb.
