I like to play on words. Thought the Sun Times did a nice job on that after the Cubs got swept in Cincinnati this weekend. Cincinnati Skid was pretty good. Not reddy isn’t as good, but the shoe fits.
You really only need one four letter word to describe it; I’m sure you can think of one. Ugly is what I was thinking. To get swept by the last place team, a 4 game sweep at that, can’t be described any other way. Lucky? The Reds have been playing good ball. They have some quality bats; pitching not so much, unless you’re talking about their pitchers hitting. Wtf?!? But the Cubs has been playing well too. A nice series win over the Dodgers put us back on the doorstep of first place. Now we have some making up to do.
A losing streak, it happens to everybody. That’s what I tell myself to make myself feel better about this catastrophe…haha. But seriously, even the best teams in the majors will lose 60 times in a year. Considering not all of these losses will be a one and done scenario, there will be losing streaks. The duration of the losing streak, who the opponent(s) was/were, and the timing in the season are all important components to understanding how quickly we should jump off the ledge.
4 games isn’t that bad. Certainly don’t want this to continue for too long. I guess two consecutive series sweeps would raise the concern level. The Reds are in our division, so in concept that’s bad. But, they won’t be competing for the division, so not too worried about it. And if by some chance they do make a run, we’ll see them plenty of times in Wrigley with the opportunity to serve them a cold dish.

Obviously the earlier the better. You don’t want to lead into the all star break on a cooler, but any time before then is ideal. Anytime later in the season, is much much worse. If you have a losing streak in October, you’re going home.
Based on this logical thought process, I’m ok…really I am. We’ve seen this from the Cubs before, even in the magical year of two zero one six. Yes, completing the sweep in the huge comeback fashion that the Reds did, really sucked, but…that happens too. We’ve been on the other side of comebacks like that. It happens to everybody. Our bullpen has been really good, but they’re bound to crack too from time to time.
It’s time to get this out of the system as soon as possible. Baseball is the easiest sport to keep it moving with a game almost every day. With four in LA ahead of us, there’s no time to sulk. There’s not a lot of time to contemplate it. There’s only time to look ahead.
Shake it off and get back on track. And oh yeah, F the Reds. Go Cubs!

Pretty shocking to get swept by the reds…a 4 game variety, too. Ouch. I mean, the reds are in last place and look to be there most of the year. The Cubs are near the top of the nl but are not immune to losing games, series, or streaks. They took 4 on the chin but have to bounce back now. The reds will get theirs soon enough. I mean, they’re in ohio so they’re born to lose…hahaha! No worry here. Just one of those series for the Cubs. Move along and shake it off. Good baseball is right around the corner.
GO CUBS GO!!!
