Friendly Confines Takeaway
A walk-off started the fun.
A five-homer game continued it.
A 23-3 demolition finished it.
The Cubs didn't simply beat San Diego. They overwhelmed them, swept them, and reminded the rest of baseball what this lineup looks like when every bat catches fire at the same time.
May the balls keep flying beyond the bleachers.
May Swanson keep making pitchers nervous.
May Seiya keep making history.
And may every summer afternoon at Wrigley feel a little like today.
