he Cubs’ six consecutive wins — and 10 in their last 11 — are as nice as they are meaningless with the calendar flipping to October.T
But if you’re a Cubs fan there’s a clear rooting interest left in this season.
You should be rooting hard for the Padres. Because if the most aggressive team over the last three or four years flames out early in October — or manages to miss the playoffs for the second straight year — it might be the worst of any possible postseason outcome ahead of a winter in which the Cubs promise to be aggressive.
What “aggressive” means for a huge-revenue team in the midst of its second tanking rebuild in a decade already seems debatable until the Ricketts family ownership and Jed Hoyer’s front office deliver on the promise.
