Which brings me to my next point.
Phil thought it’d be good to remind us Cubs fans “not to take the Divisional Series for granted.” This leads me to believe that Phil truly doesn’t understand Cubs fans excitement the past two seasons when the team was able to get past the NLDS and advance to the League Championship Series in 2015 and 2016.
Playoff baseball on the North side of Chicago is something that is almost as good as waking up to freshly baked cookies and a pint of Guinness on Christmas morning.
Wait, so nobody else does that huh?
I was lucky enough to attend a few games of both the 2015 and 2016 NLDS and the electricity was just as high as it was during the NLCS or the World Series. When Javier Baez took Johnny Cueto deep in the bottom of the 8th of Game 1 of the NLDS, I literally threw my $8.75 beer on the poor fellow in front of me.
Every Cubs fan that I associate with know good and well that even REACHING the postseason is something that is very difficult to do in a very rugged National League.
