Pretty, pretty good night for Kyle Schwarber

[True Dough]

In the Phillies 19-4 victory over Atlanta, Mr. Schwarber went 4 for 6. All four of his hits were home runs. He racked up 9 RBI.

1. *sigh*

Multi-generational Cubbies fan here, watching the second half of this season fizzle away. Again.

2. My sympathies

It has been a dreadful second half for the Cubs.

3. Yeah, but Jed Hoyer got a contract extension.

That’s all that matters.

4. The future is bright!

Way to find the silver lining.

7. $30 million for Theo's coffee boy!

Woo-Hoo!

5. I've seen this happen more times than I can count.

But I'm keeping hope alive. They still got a chance; they're still looking good for the wild card.

And I'm still a Schwarber fan. I first saw him in 2015 when my mother and I went down to Cleveland when the Cubs were playing there. They brought him up to be the DH and I swear, he hit almost every ball thrown in his direction. I thought "who is this guy?" and he's been one of my favorites ever since. It was a dark day when the Cubs let him go.

6. I believe Four home runs in a nine inning game is the rarest feat in baseball

Other than the ole unassisted triple play.

8. Wow!

10. Nick Kurtz was inches away

from a 5 HR game earlier this season. Wish he'd been able to pull that off.

9. I give the Mets all the credit

They provided some motivation after sweeping the Phillies!
