We turn to sports for a variety of reasons. It helps us escape the daily grind and frustration that life can be. If watching the Cubs these last few weeks has been much of an escape, give yourself a pat on the back. Because this has been more frustration than enjoyable. The Cubs high water mark of the season is eight games over .500. They reached that point on April 26. They are now 8-12 since that time.
This was and is a roster capable of winning the NL Central and that has enough pitching to keep them in a playoff series.
