The Cubs are capable of winning a series against any team in baseball. Elite offense, best defense in baseball, but that pitching staff....Let's see what happens.
The Cubs can win this series in San Diego. The Cubs can win a series after that, another after that, and a final one after that. There's nothing in the laws of physics that says it is impermissible for the unlikely to occur. We see unlikely things in baseball every day.
After Pete Crow-Armstrong stole 2B in the 1st inning Thursday to secure his place in the 40-40 club, the Wrigley faithful gave him a huge ovation.
That nearly moved PCA to tears on the field in what he describes as one of the most special moments of his life:

This is the most insane story I've worked on since profiling the NYC mobster who hid in Indy.
It has it all: the NFL, power, ego, race, revenge + a crime too crazy to believe.
(And, yes, a micropenis.)

Is it time to pull the plug on Jacob Webb? He was great until he wasn't. The greatest disappointment of the season is the bullpen. Jed failed in that regard. Cubs bullpen has lost 31 leads and blown 25 saves.
Jed's firable offense is this year's bullpen. Wouldn't fire him, but this team would win 95 games with a lockdown bullpen. Starting pitching has been reasonably good. Hundred plus if it had two lockdown starters.
If the Cubs can't win the World Series, I'd like to see the Brewers win. They'd torpedo the storyline that small-market teams can't be successful in the postseason and the salary cap owners want.
