I know. The title is a spoiler, but I want readers who aren’t baseball fanatics to have the option of closing the website until tomorrow, when I plan to write about oxymorons. And who doesn’t like a good oxymoron?
Anyway, we (I mean Cubs management, players, Earl, and yours truly) just finished a three game home series against the Brewers. That’s the Milwaukee Brewers, an archrival of the Cubs since Eve bit the apple. This season it’s particularly intense, because the new General Manager of the Cubs left the Brewers to join the Chicago team as the highest paid manager in baseball this past spring.
This was the first match-up of the two teams this season, and it lived up to the hype. In the end, the Cubs won two out of three games; but, even though the team has won 21 games and the Brewers only 20, Milwaukee still remains in first place in the division. Don’t ask me how, because I don’t understand it. Still, we’re flying the W.
Tomorrow the Cubs face San Diego at home, and the Brewers travel to Kansas City to face the Royals. Home stadium is an advantage, so I hope tomorrow’s games put the Cubbies on top. Even if this happens, I promise to write about oxymorons.
