It’s cold out there. Gray. Forbidding. Miserable.
No, not the weather.
I’m talking about our sports scene.
Dateline: Chicago, “L”-inois.
For the second consecutive calendar year — not to insult anyone’s intelligence, but that means January through December — there will be a grand total of zero postseason victories among the Bears, Blackhawks, Bulls, Cubs and White Sox.
For our five teams in the Big Four professional sports leagues, 2019 started with Cody Parkey’s tragic double-doink against the Eagles on Jan. 6 and basically went downhill from there.
It was a lot like 2018, when all the Not-So-Fab Five gave us, playoff-wise, was the Cubs’ wild-card whiff.
