Sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers and watching Pete-Crow Armstrong outduel Shohei Ohtani in their MVP showdown seemed like the perfect way to end an exhilarating homestand for the Chicago Cubs.
But the Cubs instead were forced to return to Wrigley Field on Thursday for a makeup game against the Toronto Blue Jays, and for most of the afternoon the electricity of the last week seemed missing with the New York Yankees and Dodgers — and all their stars — gone.
The Cubs were clueless against Blue Jays ace Dylan Cease, who allowed two hits in seven shutout innings, and a loss to the underachieving Jays would've felt like adding an extra chapter to "The Great Gatsby."
But then everything changed on a dime, and a manic Cubs season went off the rails again.
