Great article. We take the ups with the downs. The ups are more enjoyable because we have seen and felt the downs.

Let us joe Cubs give us more seasons where they are relevant in September and October not always because they win everything – because they have the potential to get going and keep every NLC team honest.

I went back to look at division winners tonight and, contrary to my hazy memory and common narrative impression, the Cards didn’t really begin to dominate until 2000. You look at the years the Reds, Astros did and you quickly realize…this will end too someday.

I remember in 2015 the “best fans in baseball” wrote off our kids success as luck. Even last year at the break they were convinced the Cubs would crater in the second half, and they would reassert their presumed “right” to chase away these pesky upstarts. The ridiculous statements early in the year by Matheny and Carpenter were the resultof prideful denial.

Let’s never be THOSE fans. Like you said, this is rare. We should enjoy our extended multi year run just as we did the multi-month run we did last year. And dance club disco EVERY achievement along the way.

I only got over 1969 last year. A division title should always be joyous. Go Cubs!
