2022 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 96

This season and this winning streak would have an awfully long way to go to start talking about the phoenix rising from the ashes. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration, though, to say that this last few days has felt a bit like finding an oasis in the desert. With four straight wins coming out of the break, this team now has a season high five-game winning streak. It feels like forever since this team has done that. That’s a lot more hyperbole than true. The Cubs won seven in a row to cap August and start September last year. Have I mentioned before how much I hate the term dead cat bounce?

This has been interesting, because this team got where it was because it just couldn’t string together…
