It’s natural to be upset about the Chicago Cubs finish to this 2015 season. An 8-3 loss to the New York Mets finished it off, and it was a series that the Cubs looked like anything but themselves. The team that came into the playoffs on fire, garnering praise and being called the favorites by some fell flat. Those that remember 1969 aren’t going to sleep well. Mr. Met will haunt their dreams tonight. It’s a disappointing finish to a fantastic campaign.
The Cubs rotation was expected to ride Jake Arrieta and Jon Lester to wins, and then ride the offense with whoever else was on the mound.
