The Last Thing I Expected

I never would have thought I'd see:

  • CUBS lose both games 1 and 2 at home
  • Dempster lose at home
  • Dempster walk more in five innings than in the previous five weeks
  • Z get a walk
  • errors by the entire infield in a single game
  • an error by DLee
  • CUBS get out-homered
  • Pie get a walk
  • Pie NOT get doubled off first on a line drive to second
  • Dick Stockton announce baseball at the ripe age of 96

So at this point the last things I expect are:

  • CUBS come back from 0-2 deficit
  • Harden and Lilly to throw back-to-back shutouts
  • Soriano hits five HRs in three games
  • Howry gets a save
  • I get to use my LCS ticket on October 10th

Yeah, I'm embarrassed.  But if nothing else this team has surprised me over and over again this year.
