I don’t have much time (which is kinda weird on Back to the Future Day, isn’t it?), so I’ll make this as quick as possible. After last night’s game, things went from “we can still do this” to “what the hell is goin’ on out there.” It happened in a hurry too.
In Game 1, the Cubs ran up against the human buzzsaw that is Matt Harvey. In Game 2, they appeared listless in backing a tired performance from their own ace. Neither game was fun to watch, but they were more disappointing than anger-inducing. The Mets were the better team and it was clear.
