At least they won a game...but, unfortunately, the end of this season is reminding me of another famous Steve Goodman song. No, not The City of New Orleans...you know the one I mean. Unfortunately, as warm and fuzzy as the memories are, that’s what the WGN years mean to me. A LOT of losing. Yeah, that one.
I mean, the Cubs got swept by the doormats of the NL Central before tonight’s contest. I love that the players haven’t given up (counter to the prevailing narrative — there are jobs on the line, at the very least, and these are some of the most competitive human beings on the planet) — most of the games are close, even during the skein of losses.
