There’s always next year
Ouch. After a nice late-season rally, the Cubs just got swept out of the postseason by the Diamondbacks. That’s a little disappointing, but hardly surprising; we put up hardly more of a fight than the Yankees are against the Indians. So we go a hundred winless years. I guess that’s an accomplishment in and of itself; now that Boston and that other Chicago team have broken their streaks, our hundred years is likely to stand as the longest losing streak in baseball for a long time. Who’s next, anyhow? Houston, at fifty-something?
