Make that the Cubs and the Brewers. This must be what Cubs manager Craig Counsell was getting at last September when he assessed the “big, daunting gap” between his old, small-market team and his new, major-market one — buried 10 games back in the division standings — and said, “I think it’s important that you reflect on the season, [and] if I sit here and say we need to be better, that reflection needs to create some changes.” A year ago on June 17, the first-place Brewers were in fine shape at 42-30, while the last-place Cubs — who reeled to the tune of 21-34 in May and June — were already 8½ games back at 34-39.
