Friday night was an easy revisionist history moment for Cubs nation.
The result wasn't what they wanted — a 2-1 loss to the rival Cardinals in 10 innings — and it was easy to play back the tape and see where it all went wrong.
For one thing, the Cubs went 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and their only run on the evening was a sacrifice fly from starting pitcher Yu Darvish in the second inning.
But there was also a sequence in the decisive bottom of the 10th inning where Cubs reliever Dillon Maples looks to have clearly retired Cardinals outfielder Harrison Bader on strikes, only to see Bader trot down to first base with a walk.
