Cubs Score 36 Runs Over 2 Games - Updated

Last edited Fri Aug 4, 2023, 07:58 AM - Edit history (1)

Yeah, it's just the Cubs & Reds, so not a huge baseball outcome, except....
The last time the Cubs did this was 1897. Yeah, 19th century. 126 years ago!
I think anything that happens only every 1/8th of a millennium is kind of a big deal.
Update: With the 5-3 win last night, the Cubs scored 41 runs in 3 games. Last time they did that was 1900!

Winning 20-6, then losing 3-2 & 4-3 still means losing 2 out of 3.
I'm more worried about Strohman. He seemed like he had a dead arm. Fastball wasn't moving, slider was flat. Now, he's hurt.
I have no expectations for this year, but I want them to be respectable and right now they are.
But, mostly I just think it's cool they did something for the first time in over 120 years!
