I get it, but I'm officially done with the "weak remaining schedule" narrative being the main reason to be concerned about the Cubs. Ive been hearing all about it since the all star break, when the Cubs were still a game ahead of the Brewers for the division and many were checking how close the 3rd wildcard spots in the standings was for playoff positioning.
2 months into that "easy 2nd half schedule", the Cubs have managed to lose 7 games in the standings headed into action today. And they are running out of games to find a way to play the 0.900 baseball necessary to catch a Brewers team that is now entering a pretty soft September schedule of its own compared to what they've gone through since late July
