CHC 5, CLE 1

The little bears even the score with a fairly authoritative night at the plate; Drone Boy managed not to soak the mound with gore this time but has never exactly been Greinke when he's not injured, so it's not surprising the Cubs solved him.

But did anyone else find this game hard to keep his/her attention on? Not to blame Joe Buck for everything (although muttering imprecations about him at a pile of cat vom does take the edge off), but something about the unmodulated blaring of Buck and John Smoltz just kind of turned the entire audio experience of that game into the PA system in that Felicity episode when they get stuck in the subway. I should just mute the TV and listen to it on the app, I guess.

Anyhoodle: points!

and when there was only one set of footprints in the sand, that's when Bunting 2 had given up and marched into the sea (50.12; idk)

Off day today, lettin' the rain pass over; Friday, Hendricks and Tomlin takes the mound and Arbour fixes his gimlet eye on the leaders. 8 PM ET start time; see you this weekend!
