Yesterday’s off-day provided a chance for Cubs fans to take a deep breath and put last week behind them.
At least, that’s what I did.
The Cubs are in a valley right now, in terms of the old peaks-and-valleys metaphor, but I’m confident they’ll be climbing their way out soon.
This is a young team, and there will be rough patches. They’re not hitting at all at the moment, but let’s remember how good the Cardinals pitching staff has been all year (No. 1 in ERA by a decent margin). Oh, and the Dodgers aren’t too bad either (third overall in ERA).
