Cubs Lose! Cubs Lose! Cubs Lose!
What do you live

I caught the Cubs-Reds game at Wrigley Field on Thursday on the way back from a talk at the U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.

They lost in 12 innings 2-1 and effectively ended their shot at the playoffs (especially after losing again today vs. Atlanta). After gaining the lead in the Wild Card last week, they have utterly collapsed ever since the shocker in NY last Saturday (lost the lead with 2 outs and 2 strikes in the bottom of the ninth--and did the same thing Wednesday vs. the Reds). Losing 6 of their last 7 when they needed to do the opposite will go down as one of the worst wilting in Cubs history--but there have been so many....
