But yes, he didn’t come here for us to be poor like the Brewers.

That would be my only reservation if I were a Cubs fan. The history of all sports are filled with coaches/managers that consistently overachieve with lesser talent, but they fall short when they take that step up into an organization that gives them all the tools to succeed.

Being a scrappy underdog that wins more games than they should takes a different approach than a team that’s expected to win pennants and championships.
