it’s ok

sad jon

we rallied a few times

wore down their best pitcher

gave up two dongs to their #9 hitter

and popped our world series cherry

this team is young and emotional and has a lot of pressure on them.

they will bounce back tomorrow behind jake, i promise.

enjoy the night.

his name is kyle schwarber

kyle schwarber

he was hurt all year.

then like kirk gibson in 88 he got off his black ass and said

put me in coach, im ready to play.

is he ready to play? probably not.

will he play? hes starting in a few hours, batting 5th, in the DH spot.

fuck the DH but whattya gonna do,

mlb gave cleveland home field, so theres gonna be maybe four games with a DH

so schwarber it is.

if i were to have bought a cubs jersey this year it would have either been schwarber

or willson contreras

contreras has been hitting out of his mind. for some reason he isnt starting tonight

but you will see him in some situation unless the cubs blow them out

which they might with my man schwarb back in the band.

this is just another amazing page to this long wonderful tale.

couldnt sleep last night

108

finally did. woke up at 6am. couldnt get back to sleep. how could i?

people are emailing me, theyre texting me, they’re sending me messages on Instagram DM

tony is not home right now.

if you see him, it is his hologram.

if you get a message from him it is from his intern.

tony is curled up like a ball will his cats licking him and then licking each other.

and then falling asleep next to him.

heres something interesting i got in my in box this morning
