It's a sad day-after for the Cubs; getting this far and anticlimactically putting an end to a "wasn't supposed to happen" magical season.
Naturally, Cubs fans are tossing around what-ifs and asking themselves 'If only this happened or that didn't happen?' But what did happen, is the reason Chicago isn't moping around, says ESPN's Michael Wilbon.
Wilbon, a die-hard Cubs fan and Chicago native, joined 'The Dan Patrick Show' on Thursday following the Cubs NLCS loss against the New York Mets toprovide some closure after a bitter-sweet end.
To Wilbon, the projection of the Cubs making the playoffs in the first place was wildly out of control and optimistic.
