TOKYO — You could look at it the way I noted below the headline.
Or you could look at the Cubs’ 6-3 loss to the Dodgers at the Tokyo Dome, a sweep the Dodgers completed without two of their best players (Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman) and utterly panic as the headline itself states, say “The season is lost!” or something to that effect, and pretend that the Dodgers are going to win every game they play and blast their way to another World Series championship.
