A new theme has taken shape for those who have been permanently maligned by the unseen hand of some pro-Cubs force, to be righted only by incessant Cub heckling: You get what you deserve.

If by that they mean an old-time neighborhood ballpark loaded with history by the lake, a crowd that’s fairly content with their lot in life (team included), a superstar home-run hitter playing right field and seats and sightlines that are so good even the players want them (see the Dodgers), then I’ll take it.

The only people who are unhappy about the Cub experience are those who aren’t taking part in it.
