Today I get to do a little tone change over where I’ve been the last few days. That’s because I’m quite simply not surprised that the Cubs took care of business against a Reds team headed for 100 plus losses. After winning three straight from the contending Phillies, I expect big things from the Cubs in this extended series against the Reds to conclude the season. So much so that when the Reds jumped out to a 1-0 lead early, I was surprised.
Talk about raising unrealistic expectations. Now I’m here expecting the Cubs to just steamroll the Reds in these games.
