Cubs Score 36 Runs Over 2 Games - Updated [View all]

Yeah, it's just the Cubs & Reds, so not a huge baseball outcome, except....
The last time the Cubs did this was 1897. Yeah, 19th century. 126 years ago!
I think anything that happens only every 1/8th of a millennium is kind of a big deal.
Update: With the 5-3 win last night, the Cubs scored 41 runs in 3 games. Last time they did that was 1900!
