I debated for quite some time whether to do this companion series to the “10 best Cubs games of 2021” that appeared here earlier this week.
On the one hand, why would you want to read about lousy Cubs baseball?
On the other hand, it’s part of the history of the franchise and the story of 2021, which, as I wrote here last week, is perhaps the weirdest season in Cubs history.
So, here goes. As was the case for the previous two articles, I am splitting this into five games pre-selloff and five post-selloff.
