Coming home – after a marathon loss against an arch rival to cap off a sweep – could have gone a couple ways for the Cubs.
They could have been so down and physical tired that they were steamrolled by a hot club that was well-rested. Or, as it actually played out, the Cubs could have performed like the Cubs and the Marlins … like the Marlins.
It was a three-game sweep for the Cubs, just what they needed to reestablish some footing, and put them in a good place to continue beating up on beatable competition this weekend against the White Sox.
And for the individual Cubs, the series was quite a boon to their statistics.
Consider that in yesterday’s SINGLE game, alone …
Those jumps have me cracking up. May the Cubs face the Marlins at home more often.
