Opening day recap

So I'm sitting in the living room watching the opener when my son Sean (age 7) comes home from school. The Cubs are losing 6-3, and it's only the first inning.

Sean says "Hey dad, we're not too far behind."

Fast forward to the eighth inning. I'm in the kitchen making dinner when I hear Sean yelping in the living room. I run in and ask him what happened. He has a big smile on his face.

"We got out of a jam, dad."

"Great," I said. "What's the score?"

"16-5."

"We're getting killed," I pointed out.

"Yeah, but it's only one game," he countered.

The Cubs blood runs deep in that boy.
