MILWAUKEE – Rolled up sheets of opaque plastic, secured to the ceiling of the American Family Field visitors clubhouse, sat in wake this weekend, ready to be unfurled in front of lockers for beer and champagne showers.
The celebration never came. The zip ties were still uncut Sunday evening as Cubs players meandered around the room saying their goodbyes. They exchanged hugs, words of encouragement, a set of offseason wedding invitations.
