I’d intended for the “scare the crap out of you” post to be like a Bullet or two, and then I just kept typing as I got more unnerved by the road that lays ahead of the Cubs. That’s how it is: you can rarely see further ahead than the end of your nose, but when you start to really look out there in the world, you’re like, “Oh, wow, seriously? THAT’S what’s out there?!” Good and bad. Good and bad.
Anyway. Bullets …
Rizzo: "We lost one game. I'm sure some people will write we lost to the Royals and we need to panic. We lost one game."

Rizzo after being reminded the Cubs "only" went 4-3 against SD/KC: Do you think we should dwell on it?" Then: "We're due for a roll somewhere."

More Rizzo : "If we have a great series against the Nats and Brewers it doesn't mean we're going where we want to go and if we lose it doesn't mean we're not going where we want to go."

The Chicago Cubs haven't been more than 5.5 games out of first place since 2015. They've gone to the NLCS in three consecutive seasons, have won their division twice in a row, and have raised a World Series banner over Wrigley Field.
Remember to enjoy the era.
