I wasn’t able to watch the Cubs game on Sunday because I was tied up with another form of baseball. My son’s team was participating in a tournament about 90 minutes south, which required us to be up by around 6am on Sunday to play three games in sweltering conditions. The end result was disappointing, a second-place finish for the second weekend in a row, but they’ve already won more games through four tournaments than they did all of last season.
It’s been fun watching the kid come into his own a little more on the mound. And based on how the Cubs played, maybe I was better off not watching them.
