The Rundown: Cubs Suffer Royal Beat Down, Top Prospects Rarely Traded at Deadline, Brewers Take NL Central Lead

“Must I forever be a beggar whose golden dreams will not come true? Or will I go from rags to riches? My fate is up to you.”Rags to Riches by Tony Bennett

One of my favorite lines in the movie Goodfellas aptly describes last night’s fiasco against the Royals:

“Every once in a while, I’d have to take a beating. But by then, I didn’t care. The way I saw it, everybody takes a beating sometime.” – Henry Hill

A loss is a loss, and it doesn’t matter by how many runs once the season ends.
