""I think my emotion today has been disappointment," Hoyer said on Wednesday. "Whenever you get into the playoffs, you start moving forward, and you have elimination games - the natural emotion is to think about the last thing that happened. Obviously, that was disappointing. "As I get away from it, I think my biggest emotion will be pride. I'm really proud of this team. We have a real foundation to keep building from. So obviously, I'm disappointed now. It'd be impossible to not have disappointment from falling short of the ultimate goal. But I am really proud of this group and proud of our season.""
"Post-modern artist Klaus Voormann, who was once close friends with exiled Beatle Stu Sutcliffe, played bass on that Simon ditty. Voormann also sketched the band's Revolver cover and has a fictional character cameo in the failed HBO series Vinyl as Ernst, played by Carrington Vilmont. That probably means nothing to you, but you can thank me in the comments section if you ever win a free pitcher of beer at your local bar trivia night."
Includes 'I might rise above, I might go below...' lyrics from 'Mockingbird' and references to Carly Simon, James Taylor, and an earworm. Mentions Klaus Voormann's ties to Stu Sutcliffe, bass contribution to the Simon song, Revolver cover sketch, and a Vinyl cameo. Notes the difficulty of producing relatable Cubs content late in the season and highlights Jed Hoyer's end-of-season press conference. Describes Hoyer as long-winded and repetitive, likened to a Mafia soldier, underworld spy, or a man hiding an affair. Presents Hoyer alternating between disappointment and pride about the team's season and foundation for the future.
