This was supposed to be a post about the Chicago Cubs showing their grit and squeezing out a win in the series finale. But that isn’t this post. It’s about the Cubs being swept by the Washington Nationals and falling four games behind the first Wild Card. None other than the aforementioned Nats hold it.
The Cubs showed some life today in the offense, but they were completely overmatched. And not by Stephen Strasburg. Heck, they held their own against him. No. Anibal Sanchez and the Nats bullpen stifled them. The bullpen, I might add?
