I haven't been able to watch a Cubs game down here lately, but I keep up with them via the web. They are 9 games back in the division with 19 games left in the season (magic number 29, tragic number 10). Winning the division isn't gonna happen. We knew this by July. They didn't get hot again until August and by then Milwaukee built up a double-digit lead.
They are 5 games back in the Wild Card and while it's more realistic, they will need some help from the teams in front of them. Too little, too late. Too many blown leads. I don't know if it's better to miss it by 5 games or miss it by 1-2 games like last year (I don't want to look it up, suffice it to say they collapsed last year in Epic Cubs Fashion.
Because it was against the Tennessee Titans, I was able to watch the Bears game yesterday. The Defense bailed out the offense for the win. Next week is Sunday Night Football so I will be able to watch that game as well. After that, I must decide if I want to pay for the Sunday Ticket to continue watching the games. Yesterday's game was fun to watch despite the anemic offense.
The problem is most of the games are at noon. This is smack dab in the middle of the day when Nightingale is trying to food prep for the week and the kids need lunch. It is not hyperbole when I say that everyone is calm and chill until 11:59 am and then the minute the game starts, I'm suddenly needed.
There's no point paying all that money to not be able to enjoy the little joys I get down here and watch them lose. I have about two weeks to decide.
