Glad you’re back, guys.
Remember what I’ve been saying all season long? That the problem with the Cubs is about 90% D-Lee and Aramoose not hitting (and 10% middle relief)? And how if those two guys start hitting the Cubs could turn things around?
Well, here we are, it’s 20 July, and Ryan Dumpster gave up seven runs in five innings. Last month, it would have taken the Cubs about nine games to score seven runs, so they’d be fucked. Tonight, the Cubs scored seven runs twice, with D-Lee and Aramoose both their old unstoppable selves. Aramoose hit three home runs, for pity’s sake. Three!
One of them was a three-run homer, and somehow the Cubs still managed to win, which is odd; aren’t sportswriters always telling us that the three-run homer is an instant loss?
