Honestly, it’s as if I want to take a break from writing about the Cubs but I can’t avoid everything else that is being said and written. If anything, for me at least, it was fine to watch them take a killshot from the Rockies rather than watching them slowly bleed to death through the playoffs.
We watched a beaten team that had nothing left in the tank once the calendar rolled into October. The only positive from Tuesday’s season-ending loss is that the players get an extra month off to unwind and re-energize ahead of 2019.

It may make perfect sense for Joe Maddon to exercise some due diligence in the next month or two.
