What did it feel like watching Monday night’s Cubs game? It felt good. It was a warm night in Chicago, the wind was blowing out, and the boys in blue looked pretty fine. It didn’t feel quite as good as it did back in 2015 or ’16 when it felt like they were unbeatable, and if they happened to fall behind it was all but a given that they would come back sooner or later. But a.) those seasons were magical, and b.) it’s still early.
Moment of perspective: The Cubs had two really extraordinary years in ’15 and ’16, and now we expect them to be like that into perpetuity.
