And it's a wrap!

 

The Cubs lost 3-1 last night to the Milwaukee Brewers. This was not unexpected, as the Brewers are the better team.  I'm just so proud of my guys that they forced a Game 5 in this best-of-5 series. That took grit.

I'm also proud that the first two games were played here in Chicago, within the Friendly Confines of Wrigley Field. It showed the country that Donald Trump and Kristi Noem are lying sacks of shit. Chicago is not "a killing field." There are not riots in the street, unless you consider tipsy young people tumbling out of Wrigleyville bars "a riot." 

No need to fear them

This was the season that we gave Ryne Sandberg his due and welcomed Anthony Rizzo back home. Pete Crow-Armstrong became a superstar and the team finished 22 games over .500. It was a more emotional and entertaining season than I could have imagined back in April.

I love being a Cub fan. It has enriched my life in so many ways. October baseball has been a gift.

Now all I want is for my heroes in Cubbie blue to have a wonderful winter in warm climes, filled with days on the water or on the links.
