Positives from #Cubs 2017 season:

- Cubs made the playoffs for the third year in a row.

- Also third year in a row to reach the National League Championship Series.

- The Cubs scored 822 runs, topping 800 runs for the second season in a row,

- Team belted 223 home runs, second-highest single total in franchise history.

- For the first time in club history, six players reached the 20-homer mark:
- - Anthony Rizzo 32 HRs, 156 hits, 32 doubles
- - Kyle Schwarber 30 HRs, 16 doubles
- - Kris Bryant 29 HRs , 162 hits, 38 doubles
- - Ian Happ 24 HRs, 17 doubles
- - Javier Baez 22 HRs, 128 hits, 24 doubles

- The Cubs also set a Major League record with five 20-homer seasons by players age 25 or younger
(Bryant, Contreras, Happ, Schwarber and Baez).

Now compare all of that to the #Cardinals and #WhiteSox. Feel better?
