It won’t be long until MLB lists the elimination number for each team in the standings.
It also won’t be long until that number is zero for the Chicago Cubs. Not that it’s a huge surprise for fans of the Cubs.
This year was penned as a rebuilding and development year long before Opening Day. However, what has gotten fans through a difficult 2014 is not the play at Wrigley Field but rather the future of the team fielded at the Friendly Confines.
While some of the starting rotation has been decent, other aspects of the Cubs, such as the offense, have struggled. As we pass the three-quarter mark for the 2014 season, we look back at the first 75 percent of the season from top to bottom.
