What a fuckin game!!! It's the bottom of the 8th as I write this, 12 - 0 Cubs, and this has been quite an incredible game to watch. I feel a little bad for Chad Bentz, the Marlins' current pitcher, he with one half of a right hand and the unenviable mitt problem of Jim Abbott. What to do if someone bunts? What if there's a line drive to the nine position and there isn't time to switch hands? What a nightmare. But he's made it to the show, so he's earned the right to be there and I shouldn't feel sorry for him.
D. Lee, or as the crowd chants, "MVP" has had an amazing game, a triple shy of the cycle. He could have just gotten it had he made a run for it on that double he just got. After the ESPN announcers couldn't subdue their hard-ons at the possibility of a Johnny Damon cycle on Sunday night, I'm glad these new(er) Cubs announcers aren't tainting themselves by talking about it incessantly. Joe Morgan is on my shit list.
Aramis had a great game, D. Lee had a great game, a three-run homer for Barrett, Burnie is on a great hit streak... we're really coming together this month. I hope it lasts and that there's some great baseball this fall.
God Bless the Chicago Cubs!
