Apparently, the Cubs are going to turn this year’s National League Championship Series into performance art. They have already settled on a theme. It’s an homage to the 2017 regular season. The first two games in L.A. were a tribute to the first half of the season, when the Cubs were completely frustrating to watch and were two games under .500 and found creatively dumb ways to lose games.
That was Games 1 and 2. Do you feel terrible? Did you spend 20 minutes on Sunday night banging your head into the wall trying to forget that Wade Davis sat in the dugout in the ninth inning of Game 2 while John Lackey walked Chris Taylor so he could give up a walk-off homer to Justin Turner, who is now 13-for-18 in his playoff career with runners in scoring position.
