It’s over. Dim the lights, lock up on your way out, and bang the drum slowly, because only a miracle of epic proportions can get the Cubs into the postseason. Then again, if you lose seven straight must-win games at the end of the season, you’re really not deserving of a playoff spot. At this point, one wonders if the Cubs will even win one more game before the 2019 regular season is officially in the books.
I mentioned over the weekend that watching the Cubs close out this season is like watching your dad drain the pool at the end of summer.
