This is going to be the best game of the season

Why? Because it’s one of the very few I’m able to actually watch — with Len & Bob, no less. I am willing this game to be like pre-post 2008 Cubs. The vibes I’m sending are strong. Go Cubs (dammit!)

I hate to add up how many innings the Cubs have had 1st & 2nd and no one out

and FAILED to score a single run. That has to be the defining inning of this year’s team, to me.
