Go Cubs...

As I posted earlier..

I would be…

disappointed but will be OK if we win 1 of 4
happy if we get a split
very happy if we win 3 of 4
ecstatic if we sweep the cheese cakes
mad if we get swept

So I am already happy…and a win either today or tomorrow would be an icing on the cake..

He also added

“if it were up to me, Ned Yost would be unemployed come August.” I tried to console him by saying that while it isn’t up to him, Ned will almost certainly do everything he can to grant this wish eventually…

Prediction:

Blanco will homer. He’s not happy about missing that pitch.

not entirely

it was a rough pitch to block, but still I’d assume the competitiveness in him thinks he should’ve gotten it

They got one,

We got two. Let’s turn over the line-up & get a few more.

I listen to tunes while doing the cardio work out but saw the comment being scrolled over on the TV that had PTI – it was a captioning thing ..
