Let’s play two!
If you’re out in the bleachers tonight, stop by right field, down by the well, and look for the guy in the light blue BN shirt, jeans, and blue/yellow shoes. That guys is highly likely to be me, so you can say hello and we can watch some baseball.
Baseball that will hopefully involve Dallas Beeler keeping the Cubs in this one, and the Cubs’ bats continuing what they started in the early game today.
