There are many people out there who, unlike me, didn't fire the Cubs in July as a fan after they finished their three-year sandbagging the roster that brought them the first World Series victory in 108 years. It should have been enough for Wrigley to be worse off than the Atacama. But that is not how things work. But that's not all. The Cubs were among the least vaccinated MLB teams, and they didn't hesitate to be open about it when Anthony Rizzo was present and Jason Heyward was well.

The Cubs didn't get an outbreak like the Red Sox and Yankees. Maybe they just followed the COVID protocols of MLB for teams below the threshold or maybe they just concealed their activities well. They were still unwatchable after the trade deadline. Tweedle Dumb, Tweedle Dumest and Tweedle The Faf Is This were sent to the plate on any day Kyle Hendricks was not blowing seven runs.
The Cubs season was not able to go quietly behind the curtains while other teams vied for the prizes that they had declined to chase. It was Irish goodbye, but they couldn't Irish goodbye to it.
Conor McGregor throwing out the first pitch is probably enough, considering he's an alleged racist and accused rapist and just a general overrated asshole, whose only wins in the last five years have been over tackling dummies. This is the same group that tried to get dope from BarfStool for the 7th inning stretch, but it didn't realize the backlash and decided to move on. McGregor isn't any better.
McGregor was then photographed with Cubs players in the Cubs clubhouse, none of whom were wearing masks, in a coup de stupid. The Cubs are not allowed to allow unauthorized persons in their clubhouse because they have never met the vaccination threshold. This is a clear violation. It is a clear violation.

Manager David Ross was quick at taking responsibility and, much like other Chicago coaches before him, it seemed that his only skill was accepting responsibility for anything that went wrong.
It's the perfect way to end a season that was just as dumb as a balloon-handled team. Gaslit giblets try to convince 30-year-old rookies to be long-term solutions for a team that wants to be like The Producers in baseball for the next decade, and cash in on real estate investments around it. It's what everyone on the Northside deserves, perhaps sprinkled with the White Sox winning in less than a month.
