Have you ever fallen prey to highway hypnosis and completely missed your exit or turn or whatever? It may even be a route you’ve taken before and are intimately familiar with, but you blow right past it and keep on driving just the same. You’ve even got other people in the car with you who are wondering where the hell you’re going, yet they remain silent because they trust you and assume it’s all part of a plan they’re not privy to.
If that’s ever happened to you, perhaps you can take solace in knowing the Cubs may feel the same way.
