The Cubs are technically still alive with three games to go, especially since the Marlins may have to fly to New York on Monday to finish the 9th inning of Thursday’s postponement. While I’d prefer we just rip the band-aid off, it’s hard to deny the pull of chaos. Of course, any of that could have been avoided by simply not falling apart in September.
After being swept by the Braves in Atlanta, the Cubs are in Milwaukee to wrap up the season against a Brewers squad that will not be using any of their top starters. I’m not sure if that’s actually a good thing, though, since the Cubs have seemingly been dominated by mediocre pitchers over the last month or longer.
