Could a more fitting (almost) ending to the 2019 Cubs season ever be written?
Facing the team against which the they recorded their last successful series, the tables were turned in unexpected fashion. The hapless Pirates both eliminated the Cubs from playoff contention and then danced on their graves, completing a series sweep that none of us would have expected at this time two weeks ago.
What else is there to say, honestly? This series was a messy continuation of what has been one of the worst and most impactful losing streaks in recent Cubs history. It sucks that it’s come to this, but come to this it has.
