The Cubs have reached a place where eventually all struggling teams reach. The question is it the ineloquently named dead cat bounce? Or has the worm turned? Four wins in five days. One against a shorthanded Phillies team on get away day. Two of three against another lousy installment of the Angels. And one very convincing win against maybe the best team in baseball. How did that last one get in there?
I was not mentally prepared for a convincing win here. The usual grab a lead and threaten to give it away late? Yeah, that game has played itself out so many times that I’m ready to accept it on any given day.
