They made the postseason in four seasons. And while the Cubs were 817-803 (.504) overall and finished under .500 in five seasons, the one event that will define the decade was the world championship of 2016, their first banner since 1908.
The Cubs scored 7,062 runs and allowed 6,899, a run differential of +163.
2016: most wins; 2012: most losses.
