I’m running on pure adrenaline these last 6 weeks or so. I have gotten less sleep but have never felt more energized. Like all of you, I’m watching a Cubs team that has done things that I absolutely did not see coming, or at least not to this degree. What has been nearly almost as exciting has been the shift in culture among the fans and sports writers around the team. Sure, there are a few who refuse to let themselves get excited about what’s going on and just absolutely insist on being wet blankets (looking at you, Nick Vlahos), but as a whole, there is a culture change that has taken place and just continues to grow as the Cubs go deeper into the playoffs.
