game:
This game fucking sucked.
stray thoughts:
- THIS GAME DOESN'T DESERVE MORE THAN THAT.
- This game was so bad, M. Night Shyamalan could have directed it. Badum tish.
- Castro accounted for 75% of the Cubs runs today. He went three-for-three with two home runs. That hurt.
- The Cardinals walked eleven batters. That hurt a lot.
- ELEVEN BATTERS.
- 1
- 1
- 11
- So. Yeah.
- *sighs* *rolls eyes*
