I know that today was a tough day for most Cubs fans. And for once, that has relatively little to do with the somewhat lifeless game they played this afternoon against the Reds. For the third straight day the Cubs were simply overmatched by the Reds. I’m thankful at least that whatever happened in May subsided early enough to make it clear what the Cubs should be doing. In that regard, the Brewers probably simultaneously did the Cubs a favor and themselves a disservice.
Had the Brewers not trounced the Cubs so badly to date, the Cubs would be in contention.
