If it seems like the Cubs are more fun to watch this year — and are having more fun themselves — there’s a reason for that.

“Last year, we had a good clubhouse,” first baseman Michael Busch told the Sun-Times on Sunday. “But this year, winning does help a little bit. I mean, that’s what we’re put here to do, right? That’s our job, to show up and help the Cubs win.”

Mission accomplished, to this point, anyway.
