Dear Cub Fans,
Congratulations on the fine record your team has managed to accrue so far in 2016. Although you've stumbled somewhat, of late, they're still virtually tied with the Giants, for the best record in MLB. I must caution you, however, against any over-confidence, as the two series against the Mets have proven, that we still have your number.
What a terrific game took place tonight at Wrigley. Both Arrieta and Thor displayed fine form, as aces are supposed to do (although I would argue that deGrom is the ace of the Mets staff) but the high-wire act performed by Familia in the ninth was nothing short of miraculous. I know, it wasn't nearly as enjoyable from your perspective as it was from mine, but regional preferences aside, it was a thrilling contest..
But all is not lost. Given the numerous injuries to key players like Cespedes and Harvey, Duda and Wright to name a few, there's always a chance that we'll miss the post-season. Were that to happen, not only might you have a shot, but I'll actually be pulling for you.
You may now return to our shared-fandom for the Rebels. But always beware of the boys in orange-and-blue We are your Waterloo...
