and lo, we are doomed.

i'm watching the cubs-indians game. as addison russell came up to bat with the bases loaded and one out in the top of the third, i said to dïe überblønde, "the cubs should be able to score one run at this point. but if the gods really wanted to break my heart, and show that the cubs are cursed in a way that would have poets writing tragedies about them, he'd hit a grand slam." and after a bit more discussion, we concluded the ultimate proof of nemesis (the gods incarnating their disfavor) would be for the cubs to lose 1-0 in the bottom of the 15th tomorrow.

and lo, mr. russell hath slammed in a grand fashion. so now i'm trying to figure out where i can place a bet on the indians to win 1-0 in the 15th tomorrow. :P
