Cubs in Five - The Mountain Goats
From Nine Black Poppies (1995)
This is the kind of song that makes me just love, love, love John Darnielle. Being funny and heartbroken all at once is a task most songwriters find impossible; here it comes across as simply effortless. Two minutes of bliss.
But hey, the Bucs did win Super Bowl XXXVII, and the Cubs are up 5 in the NL Central, so who knows? Maybe John has a shot after all.
