Well, it was a fun season.
Only one team wins it all and we got to see the cubs do that 9 years ago. There’s a whole lot of teams that have had to wait a lot longer between championships.
Horton being out really hurt the cubs. He likely would have started game one or at worst game two.

That’s a fumble of an inning. Running out of time.

In honor of Mariners/Tigers’ epic Game 5, I thought I’d drop this one again. Seemed prescient. ❤️✨⚾️ If you see it in the morning give it a like.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Fair enough. BLTs between innings

Real talk: this is a tale of two series. Brewers offense has looked totally different at home. Brewers had the Cubs signs at home. Cubs have to tighten up for Saturday.
