A Day in a life of a Bum in the Bleachers: 08-29-2023

With the boots on the ground, I had to come support the Chicago Cubs as they race to gain the top spot against the rival Milwaukee Brewers. As a bleacher bum, my job was to heckle and hope for the best. The Brewers are coming off a 9 game win streak and the Cubs have their All-Star Pitcher Justin Steele on the mound. It's time for war.

This turns out to be the only run of the game. Bellinger Is a beast and glad he's a cup. Instead of being a slug fest, this game turned Into a pitchers dual. The All-Star Pitcher Steele got the Cubs 8ks, with 1 BB and pitched a solid 6 Innings.
