First, let me begin by saying. It’s no guarantee the Chicago Cubs are on the downhill. But it is clear the clock is ticking and what we recently thought could be a dynasty is standing on a mountain of unrealized potential after back-to-back disappointing seasons.
The end of the 2018 campaign still came on the heels of 95 regular season wins. Granted, the season ended in a flurry – with the rival Milwaukee Brewers coming to Wrigley Field and winning a winner-take-all Game 163 to claim the National League Division crown – and the Cubs subsequently losing in the NL Wild Card game, but 95 wins is nothing to sneeze at.
