When the end to the Chicago Cubs’ season arrives, the organization will dive in and dissect what went wrong.They entered the regular-season’s penultimate game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday still mathematically alive to make the playoffs, though it would require winning their last two games and getting help from the Miami Marlins and Cincinnati Reds. It’s setting up the finality to a disappointing ending from an underwhelming performance over the final three weeks.Manager David Ross acknowledged his surprise by how September played out for the Cubs.“We haven’t played our best baseball down the stretch,” Ross said. “One thing I was looking at the other night it’s you look at the Orioles of last year and not being able to make the postseason and then building upon something and how you continue to build.
