... remain losers, extending their playoff ineptitude to 9 straight games, marking 2 consecutive years of winning the division title and then being swept out of the playoffs, and propelling their long-suffering fans into their second century without a World Series title.
Their potent offense, which led the league with 97 victories and 855 runs, managed a miserly 6 runs in the 3 games while the pitching allowed 20 runs, and they tied a playoff record with 4 errors in game 2 and 6 for the series. They managed only 5 hits in 28 at-bats with men in scoring position.
To quote my 2 favorite Cubbies of yore: the eternal optimist, Ernie Banks: "Wait'll next year!" and the realist, Ron Santo, "Man, oh, man..."
So join us next year as we endure our roller coaster into oblivion with our dear Flubbies...
