When I was watching Christian Yelich’s three-run homer in the ninth inning off Craig Kimbrel sail onto the top of the center-field bleacher suite, my first thought was, “There goes the 2019 season.”
Overdramatic, I suppose, but you try to feel better after the Cubs were shut out for the second day in a row, 4-0 by the Brewers, and fell to 3½ games behind the first-place Cardinals.
Sure, there are still 26 games remaining in the season, and seven of them are against the Cardinals. That 3½ games feels like 3½ miles right now, doesn’t it?
