June 27, 1908 - Cubs lose, Ironing is for idiots, and the end of the world is coming

Cubs dominated by a scrawny dude and lose 4-1 to Cincinnati, Ironing is for idiots, and the end of the world is coming

First a confession before we start ... I can never spell Cincinnati correctly. I forget every time where the extra "n" goes, and whether or not there are two "t's" at the end. The sad thing? I lived in Cincinnati for a year of my life. So what does that tell you? Spelling is dumb!!!

Anyway ... A scrawny guy named Andy Coakley, who was 6'0", weighed 160 pounds, and went 8-18 on the year for the Reds, essentially dominated the Cubs on this day and the Reds won pretty easily by a score of 4-1. That said ... I bring up Coakley for a reason ... He's gonna join the Cubs later in the season and will end up being a factor in their run to the postseason. Foreshadowing!

Andy by the way wasn't a bad lookin' dude ...

The Cubs had and all-around "meh" kinda day ... Johnny Evers was on crutches and watched the game from the grandstand, and they only managed four hits on the day. But good news ... tomorrow is Poor People Day at the ballpark! A Sunday doubleheader is on tap ... two games for the price of one ... and all at discounted admission.

And it's not me calling it Poor People Day, that's right from the mouth of the Cubs President Charles Murphy, as noted in the Chicago Examiner, "Murphy having designated this as one of the many bargain days which he arranges solely for the entertainment of the unfortunates who have to toil on week days." Congrats working scum ... the one percenters got your back tomorrow!

In other crappy news ... 1) Pittsburgh won today and are now tied for first with the Cubs, and 2) The world is going to end in October. At least that's what some random goofball claimed who was the leader of some cult known as the Holy Ghosters. Turns out the Holy Ghosters were in the process of trying to rent yachts to set sail for Jerusalem to prepare for the end of the world. And no, it should not be lost on you that they plan to take fancy yachts across the Atlantic Ocean for the apocalypse. As you may have noticed since you aren't currently dead, their prediction does not come true.

On to more serious topics ... Ironing. Specifically, you are far too stupid to be doing your own ironing. Personally, I hate ironing and try to do it as little as possible anyway, but I didn't know it could be this traumatic!

Back aches ... frazzled nerves ... scorched shirtwaists? This is practically #WorstDayEver ... I'm never ironing again!!!

Side note: "The Day You Did The Ironing Yourself" sounds like a wonderfully sarcastic indie-studio horror movie. Terror awaits for those that do the ironing themselves!!!!! Death and destruction!!! AHHHH!!!

In conclusion ... Cubs lose 4-1 to fall to 35-21 on the year. Pittsburgh won, so the two teams are now tied, though worth noting the Cubs do have a three game lead in the loss column. Doubleheader vs. the Reds tomorrow.
