Sometimes I hate being a Cubs fan. When the Cubs won their fourth straight and completed the three game sweep of the A’s, I was downright euphoric. When they came home and lost three of four to the Dodgers, it was easy to be dismissive. Then they won two of three against the Padres. Cautious optimism returned.
And now, they lose a hard fought opener in Miami Friday night. The sky is falling! They’ve lost five of eight overall. This has happened all too many tines, the fake-out tease. They appear to be good and suck us back in and then the losing starts
Only it’s a 3-5 stretch.
