I wish I could say that the 2019 Cubs are unprecedented in team history. Unfortunately, I’ve been a Cubs fan long enough that I just can’t say that. The Cubs keep on losing. They have the weapons to compete, but they just can’t keep them all pointed in the right direction. To be fair, the Cubs probably deserved to lose this game. They managed just two hits over the first seven innings and five for the whole game. But, they were able to plate two runs in the eighth inning, including a two-run triple against Pirates closer Felipe Vazquez.
