Second Career No-No

CL is a Cubs' fan, a former Chicagoan born and raised on the North Side, which automatically makes him long-suffering, like every Cubs' fan alive.

I've heard it every summer for the past thirty-nine years, which is how long I've been friends with the Northeast Portland artist.

There is hope (eternal) for this season, all the pundits and insiders say so, and this guy keeps pitching like a Nolan Ryan on steroids.  So it must be true.

The reigning NL Cy Young winner, Jake Arrieta, pitched the second no-no of his young career yesterday as Chicago beat the Reds 16-0 in Cincy.

Sixteen runs?  Just the other day CL was lamenting about the Cubs not hitting yet.  I guess they broke out.

It's early and there's a long way to go, however.

Go Cubs!
