Wednesday is becoming a new favorite day for me. For the next couple months for sure, I’ll be leaving work early; that alone makes it great. I pick up my son from school; another check. Then I get some more family time out of the whole deal. On this Wednesday, he wanted to go to the park to play catch; I made him ride his bike over there… another 10 times with the training wheels before they come off according to him. Usually, we’ll play our game; it goes like this. I’ll be the “batter” and throw groundballs, popups, liners, bunts, all over the place, as he fields them and tries to get outs. Today it was the Orioles vs the Marlins. Except, he wanted to be the “batter” or maybe I should say “thrower” this time. Normally, I’d be all good with this, but with my recent back issues, and me really trying hard to take it easy the last couple weeks, I was put to the test. I was sore, but I did OK. Have to take advantage of these moments, especially as we wind down summer here in Chicago.
On the way home from the park, checked my phone; Cubs were already up 2-0… great start against Thor. Then I get a text about 5 minutes later from my brother… “Cubbies!”. I felt like that meant something else happened…. quickly flipped back on the score, and now it was 6-0! Boo ya! What a great start. We picked the game up in the 2nd inning, where my son yelled when Schwarbino went deep. We were crushing them. It was 10-1 after Nicky hit his 2 run bomb. With Hendricks on the mound, this game was as good as done. Then, I realized it… and maybe some of us already knew this, but… there is absolutely nothing easy about this Cubs season, even a 10-1 lead with who I feel is our ace on the mound.

But reading his fantasy update on Yahoo was hilarious… it went something like Kyle was so surprised to get all this run support that he forgot how to pitch. Whatever it was, as my son as falling asleep, the Cubs lead was shrinking. The Cubs did hold on, but that’s not to say they didn’t give us a heart attack with all those runners left on base by the Mets, especially in the 9th inning, when Kimbrel allowed the tying run to come to the plate with nobody out. Hey, we got the win, I’m not complaining… trust me.
It should be expected at this point… no lead is safe, no game is easy, there are no guarantees. This is the 2019 Cubs, who closed to 2 games behind St. Louis with this win. (Side note: I was saying how many games the Cubs were out in the past couple posts, and for some reason, was mixing up my half games.) They ARE 2 games out now, hoping to be on the right side of a sweep this time, on the road at that, against deGrom and the Mets on Thursday night. I hope they rock him too… I don’t need his fantasy points until next week either. Go Cubs!
