Over 40,000 Cubs fans stood at Wrigley Field in dead silence as the Colorado Rockies celebrated on their hallowed ground Tuesday night. The same ground the Milwaukee Brewers celebrated on just one day earlier at the conclusion of Game 163. The sun had set on the 2018 season, and it was a tough pill for many of us to swallow.
95 wins was only good enough for second place in the NL Central. A prompt one-and-done in the Wild Card game marks, by far, the shortest run of the Joe Maddon era. They had the NL Central crown seemingly wrapped up before the Brewers went on a late season surge and the Cubs could not fend them off.
