We all have our vices, some more than others, and one of mine is that I’m what is known as a bag killer. Leave a bag of potato chips in my general vicinity and there’s a high degree of likelihood that it’ll be crumpled in the trash not too long after. Not great for the waistline, nor was it a good idea to wolf down an entire tube of fat-free Pringles made with Olestra that one time in college, but there are some things you can’t avoid even when you know better.
In similar fashion, to the point that it may have even caused a little intestinal distress, the Cubs keep indulging in many of the same practices and getting all-too-familiar results come season’s end.
