I totally get why Chicago Cubs fans might be disinclined to cheer on the team that just booted them from the postseason chase. Freshly coming off a bitterly fought five-game NLDS loss to the Milwaukee Brewers, that’s a big ask.
But there are several valid reasons why – following a day’s good cry over a beer – it’s time to do exactly that. When the Brewers open play in the National League Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers Monday at American Family Field, it ought to be with the full, if not loud, support of Cubs fans everywhere.
