Some of the hope in the Chicago Cubs may have been misplaced. Media outlets were all over the Cubs winter moves, young talent in the pipeline making its way to Wrigley Field. For others, it was just annual optimism. Everyone is 0-0, no reason not to believe that this is the year. Some have been able to keep expectations in check. It’s early. Not too high, not too low. We’ve got a lot more baseball to play.
Much of that is the truth. But the month of May has shown many things. The Cubs, nor anybody else for that matter is on the same level as the Cardinals.
