2019 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 156
Photo by David Banks/Getty ImagesWhat a stunning turn of events the second to last week of the season ended up being. A week which featured the Cubs playing seven games in seven days. On Monday, the Cubs won. They were two games back of first place and just half a game behind the top wild card spot. Granted, they were only one game ahead of the Brewers in a battle for the last spot. Six consecutive losses followed, by a total of seven runs. The Cubs are now seven games back of first, the Brewers are now tied with the Nationals for the top wildcard spot, both four games ahead of the Cubs.
