The worst part about losing a day game is the resulting forced re-visitation for the remainder of the 24 hour cycle. At least with a 7:05 start a guy can drag his chapped a*s right to bed. But when you eat it by 4:30 in the afternoon, the misery is renewed locally at 5, 6, 9, and 10…and nationally at seemingly every moment.

This is gonna be a long night - that stupid “Go Cubs Go” song whirling around in my head.
