Illusions. For the savoring.

Has anyone dared look? My darling Chicago Cubs have a 9-2 record in their last 11 home games. And they’ve won their last two series on the road. Furthermore, Rizzo and Castro are having banner years. And even the unreliable Edwin Jackson has a 4-1 record at home. And the bullpen. Used to be one of the worst in baseball. Now ranks near the top. Incredible. Incredible. Incredible. Maybe next year ain’t that far away. Yes, I know.  Cubs fans live an illusion. Only to be disillusioned. But hey, a momentary illusion. It’s there. For the savoring. –Jim Broede
