The Chicago Cubs are a very good baseball team, that much has never been in question. Well, not in the last 18 months or so. But a series of epic beatdowns of the Reds, in the midst of which the Cubs magnanimously opted to take one on the collective chin so as not to completely snuff out the dying ember of hope still burning in the Queen City, has me thinking that to call them merely “very good” would a vast understatement.
And I’m not the only one, either. Some folks are going so far as to say that this is the greatest Cubs team, not in recent memory, but of all time.
