This is a companion piece to the “5 best Cubs games of 2018” article I wrote about three weeks ago.
There are a number of ways to approach “five worst games.” The first would simply be to choose the five biggest blowouts, but those aren’t necessarily the “worst” games. All teams get blown out from time to time — even a 108-win World Series champion.
Or I could pick some really tough losses, frustrating one-run affairs, or put on this list the tiebreaker game and wild-card game, and no doubt those are very tough losses to take.
