How’s the spirits on the board for a miraculous comback today?

Or is everybody playing the drinking game and too blasted at this point?

Actually

They got blown out in Cincinnati earlier this year- 9-0 or something. The game Lieber started.

A comeback

would be the biggest in Cubs history.

I remember watching the Phillies come back from an 11-1 or an 11-2 deficit to beat the Dodgers back in 1990. The game must have been on ESPN. I still recall Tommy Lasorda sitting all alone on the dugout bench after the game, looking like he wanted to kill someone. Then he knocked the gatorade container onto the ground.

I'd never heard it before today

I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling, so why don't we just ignore each other til we go away.

Of course.
