It's the GREATEST summer ever for Cub fans!
In a feel-good performance last night, the Cubs faced poor rookie Padre pitcher Cesar Carrillo, who started the night with a lifetime record of zero wins, one loss and an ERA of 30.86.
I was TOTALLY thinking it would be so nice if the Cubs would somehow find a way to lose so this talented young man could get on the winning track.
A tall order for sure, given that this year's Cub team just doesn't seem to have that many weaknesses.
But clearly the Cubs were at their best last night.
Right about midnight?
Young Cesar had his first win and brought his ERA all the way down to 11.8!
I'm so happy for him.
HOOORAAAYY!
He's from Chicago, you know - just a super heart-warming story.
I read that afterwards Ryan Dempster said, "I'm ticked off."
Surely you're aware that he's the Cubs Team Jester, and that comment was totally tongue in cheek.
"We're not hitting like we're supposed to hit." added Alfonso Soriano with a twinkle in his eye.
Of course he's been telling that same joke since May, but I get a chuckle almost every time he does.
Unfortunately I'd fallen asleep and missed Kyle Blanks inside the park 2-run homer.
But just reading about it - the idea of an inside the park home run against the Cubs - what a hoot!
Thank YOU, my Chicago Cubs.
It's that kinda kooky Summer where the laughs just keep coming!
I hope it never ends.
You know what would be awesome for tonight?
SWEEP, BABY!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Go Cubs!
