The path to a repeat is NEVER easy

The Cubs don’t appear to have a lot of questions right now. The roster is similar. The key pieces are still in place. But this is baseball, and things can change quickly. We watched last season as the Cubs offense seemed to be unstoppable. Then, they simply could get anything going.

It’s 162 game season. It’s a marathon, not a sprint. Maddon has spoken about keeping his guys rested and fresh with this early stretch of games this spring. That’s going to be the theme throughout the year. The Cubs believe they have the team to get to the World Series once again. But the path to a “dynasty” as some have called it won’t be easy.

But then again, could things have worked out ANY more perfect for the Cubs last year?
