Some big-picture perspective as Cubs begin huge series with Brewers

Nobody can blame Cubs fans for being frustrated after the events of the weekend in Washington, D.C.

Hell, the Cubs are plenty frustrated, too.

Not only were the Cubs trapped at Nationals Park forced to endure nearly 11 hours of rain delays, but they now have to go back east on what was supposed to be their only off-day in a 30-day stretch (Thursday).

Oh yeah, and they have to face Max Scherzer, who just shut down this Cubs lineup in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.

And a hurricane is set to hit the east coast later this week and very likely would impact the conditions at Nationals Park.
