The Cubs defeated the Mets Tuesday, 8-1, their fourth consecutive win by six or more runs. It’s the first time since 1886 – yes that’s 1886, as in the first Grover Cleveland administration – that the Cubs have won four straight, all by at least six runs.

Grover Cleveland- yes, the only person to win the Presidency in non-successive terms. Even though I’m from Indiana, I always feel badly for him. He was so obviously a better President than Benjamin Harrison. That being said, I appreciate that Benjamin Harrison has a very simple gravesite. It is not at all ostentatious even though it easily could be. Interestingly enough, he is one of THREE Benjamin Harrisons interned in the same cemetery. Let’s hope they’re Sr. Jr. and III. Please.
