Forty years ago Sunday, Cubs icon Ryne Sandberg led the team back from multiple deficits in a game that became named after him.
Sunday night, on a beautiful evening where the weather was much like it was on that June afternoon in 1984, this edition of the Chicago Cubs more or less sleepwalked through a 5-2 loss to the Mets.
For sure, give credit to Mets starter Luis Severino, who baffled Cubs hitters for the second time this year. They got two more hits in this one than they had off Severino in that April game in New York, big whoop.
