As someone who tries to look at the positive side of things, let me present you with this: In the last year that the Cubs were swept in a doubleheader, they won the World Series.
That’s right, the Cubs were swept by the Padres in a DH — at Wrigley Field! — May 11, 2016, the year they won the World Series.
Not to say that Saturday’s sweep at the hands of the Nationals will have the same end result, but the sweep certainly isn’t the end of the Cubs’ 2018 baseball world, even though right now it might feel that way.
