The Rundown: Do-or-Die Cubs Return Home, Bats Need Wakeup Call, 4 Teams Facing Imminent Elimination

“It’s bittersweet. More sweet than bitter; bitter than sweet. It’s a bittersweet surrender.”Bittersweet by Big Head Todd & the Monsters

The season isn’t over, but Cubs fans sure feel like it is. The Brewers beat our boys in blue at their own game Monday night thanks to three two-out home runs. I’ve thought about it for awhile, but Shu014dta Imanaga looks like he never fully recovered from his hamstring injury. He’s always been prone to home runs, just not at the accelerated rate of his most recent starts, and he’s thusly harder on himself than most fans are.
