that series crushed me like no other series did....
I’d rather they lose in the next game or two then lose like that — with only 5 outs left.
Hopefully, we’ll win.

Doing the math on Cubs playoff stats
The last 8 Cub playoff games (0-8) the Cubs have been outscored 54-20, which means that they have averaged 2.5 runs per game the last 8 games. And that doesn’t even include the game they are playing now.
