Before I get into the details of the Cubs’ 3-2 loss to the Dodgers Sunday, let me tell you something that hopefully will help you put an admittedly bad 2-5 road trip into perspective.
When the Cubs embarked on this road trip, they were tied for first place in the N.L. Central with the Brewers. And now, after this bad trip... they are one game out of first place in the N.L. Central. In fact, the Cubs have not been more than one game ahead or behind in the division since May 26.
There’s a lot of baseball left to be played, and honestly, I am not the least bit concerned about the Cubs’ play on the road against two teams that win a lot of games in their home ballparks.
