I’m sure we agree that if the Cubs win the World Series, it will be one of the great sports stories of our lifetimes. But what if they don’t? Then we’ll be stuck with a horribly boring and disappointing postseason.
You know, unless Cleveland somehow wins its second sports championship of the year.
Or the Giants play the Dodgers.
Or Madison Bumgarner pitches another masterpiece in the wild-card game . . . and still loses to Noah Syndergaard and the Mets.
Or Clayton Kershaw reminds everybody he is better than both of those aces.
Or the most compelling postseason player of his era, David Ortiz, caps the best farewell season in memory with another championship.
