Like their World Series win, you might have forgotten that the Cubs played a second game on Sunday. While their brethren were up in Lost Wages taking in the Reds’ new comedy act, the Mesa-bound half of the roster tangled with the Padres.
Between the 22 runs the Cubs put up in the other game and the NCAA tournament, I’ll forgive you for not paying attention to this particular contest. If I can confess to you, dear reader, I didn’t really mind it closely myself. So maybe we can just dispense with the pleasantries and get down to brass tacks.
