I've been made a liar

The events of last night might require me to rewrite the ending of Bonehead:

For the next two weeks, the Giants play poorly, but manage to hang on to a share of the lead in the pennant race. The Merkle Game, as it is now known, is replayed at the Polo Grounds on October 8. It’s Matty for the Gothams once again. Pfiester starts the game for the Chicagos, but gives way quickly to Mordecai Three-Finger Brown. Matty is uneven, Cy Seymour drops an easy fly ball, and Brown is brilliant. Chicago 4, New York 2 is the final score. The Cubs win the National League pennant, and go on to beat Detroit in the World Series, four games to one.

If it’s any consolation, it’s the last World Series they will ever win.

Congratulations to them anyway, and to aschultz, who probably hasn’t slept since the final out.

Hah, yeah my first thought was of Fan Interference.

I’m very impressed that you took the time to update a game post-comp. That shows dedication to craft!

My one cat took a whole day after game 7 before realizing I wasn’t mad at him. I actually managed to be very quiet after Rajai Davis’s home run.

Also I’m glad nobody on Cleveland really lost the series for them. Maybe they will break their own streak sometime soon. They have a lot of good players returning.

Oh, folks? Play Bonehead. Even if you hate baseball.

And I hope people like this pic too even if they don’t care about the game. A bit blurry but I like it. The crazy crowd had gone, and the police on duty got to have some fun.
