The Cubs have not won a National League pennant since 1945. This is the year that changes.
The Chicago Cubs are an embattled franchise. That’s not news to anyone. They have not brought home a World Series title since 1908 and have not won a pennant since 1945. They have suffered embarrassing season after embarrassing season and heart-wrenching loss after heart-wrenching loss. Cubs fans have lived and died without seeing their team win a damn thing.
This series will serve as the beginning of the end for all the struggles that the Cubs have endured. This is the series where the Chicago Cubs start to establish themselves as one of the league’s premier franchises.
