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.

Remember the last time the Cubs won a playoff game,
when the first inning went BB, K, BB, BB, Ramirez grand slam? I really miss that…sigh.
"The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible." ~Arthur C. Clarke
we hit a grand slam
against the Marlins?
I don’t remember that.

the hole gets deeper
