The Cubs are on pace to never win a game again, and the result of that is that many of these Cubs will soon no longer be Cubs. Craig Kimbrel is likely not long for Wrigleyville. Andrew Chafin is likely not long for Wrigleyville. Kris Bryant, if healthy, is likely not long for Wrigleyville. So on, so forth, so on, so forth, etc. etc. etc. Some of these guys—Kimbrel, Chafin—are not iconic Cubs. Some of them—Bryant, I don’t want to say the other names because I’ve accepted Bryant’s fate and it makes me sad and I don’t want to accept the others’ fates if I don’t have to—are iconic Cubs, though. And iconic or not, I think we can still count them as Cubs if they win a World Series, which means…
While the Cubs are not going to win a World Series, some Cubs might win a World Series.
