“I realized these were all the snapshots which our children would look at someday with wonder, thinking their parents had lived smooth, well-ordered lives and got up in the morning to walk proudly on the sidewalks of life, never dreaming the raggedy madness and riot of our actual lives, our actual night, the hell of it, the senseless emptiness.” ― Jack Kerouac, ‘On the Road’
Fun with numbers:
–One more road loss matches the Cubs' highest road loss total for any of the last four playoff seasons;
–Cubs need an 18-4 finish on the road to avoid a losing road record;
–A loss either of the next two nights means 12 consecutive winless road series. https://t.co/mJLfE6PFo6

Home run ball bites Josh Hader once again, and on the very first pitch. Marwin Gonzalez smashed a three-run shot for a 7-5 Twins lead in the eighth.
30 hits off Hader this season, 13 home runs.
And yeah, it was a fastball.

Good Lord. I'm trying to imagine a world where Tom Ricketts inserts himself into HITTING COACH HIRING AND FIRING decisions …
