Helped in small part by Kris Bryant’s golden sombrero on Saturday, the Cubs earned themselves quite an embarrassing piece of headgear this weekend. I suppose it’s a good thing for everyone involved they took off their raspberry berets prior to donning Blackhawks sweaters in a show of support for their boys on the ice.
When you hear “raspberry,” most of you probably think of the tart fruit of a multitude of plant species in the genus Rubus of the rose family. The word might also conjure thoughts of a painful abrasion. But when I think about losing a series to the team with worst record in majors, I just hear fart noises, also known as — say it with me — raspberries.
