Game 10- Double Digit Delight

The only Cubs podcast I listen to is Ivy Envy. These guys have the right mix of fandom (passionate but not psychotic) that appeals to me and I listen to every episode they put out. Recently they bemoaned just wanting a normal game, a normal win. The Cubs winning 1-0, 3-1 etc.

I thought of them when the Cubs won this one 10-0 (yes again the Cubs scored at least 10 runs in a game) and was rueful that the Ivy Envy folks didn't get their "normal" game. However, maybe this is the new normal. Maybe the Cubs are going to win games 10 to something and lose them by over 5 runs.

Maybe KB will continue to look lost at the plate yet still rack up RBIs. Maybe Lester will continue to help his own cause. Maybe the difference between a Cubs loss and a win will be who makes the most errors (for the record, Pirates had 6 errors in this game).

The Indians scored 1009 runs in a season. Let's see if the Cubs can top that while going .500. Its going to be a weird season folks.
