If they don’t pull this one out, it will be nine of 10 series lost with the only win coming against the White Sox. And they had to come from behind to win each of those games.
This is bad bad bad.
The direction seems clear. Behave like a small market team and hope for enough luck on the marginal players to dangle the potential for success in front of the fans.
This Cubs team isn’t anywhere near competitive. The only reason they aren’t 10 under is because they had their streak early in the season. This is who they really are.
