I’d been extremely unimpressed by the last couple episodes of ‘Game of Thrones,’ contrary to a lot of other folks, and then I thought last night’s was actually pretty solid. I saw none of the reaction about it, because I had to wait to watch it until after the Cubs game, which meant I finished around midnight my time, and I went straight to bed, figuring most people felt the same. Turns out, people really hated that one. I don’t really think of myself as a contrarian, but I guess I am now when it comes to GOT. (Note that I do agree, without spoilers, that there were a few very problematic parts.)
Run differential leaderboard:#Cubs: +51
Astros: +46
Rays: +46
Yankees: +36
Dodgers: + 35And the Cubs have played at least two fewer games than all of ‘em.

First time with grand slam in consecutive games since Travis Wood May 30, 2013 vs White Sox & Scott Hairston May 31, 2013 vs DBacks
