"We're thrilled with the start we've gotten off to, but we're not blinded by it," Epstein said on Tuesday. "We're in a stretch right now when winning seems far easier than it actually is. We know there is going to be a stretch, probably a long stretch this year, when winning even one game seems virtually impossible. That's the nature of baseball. We're not blinded by it.
"There's a saying in the office, 'We're in a tree.' We want to stay up there as long as we can, but we're going to get down at some point."
The Cubs are off to their best start through 30 games since they went 24-6 to begin the 1907 season, which ended with a World Series championship. Epstein knows the prognosticators picked the Cubs to win it all this season, but he's also well aware of the ups and downs in a season.
"We still have vulnerabilities, we still have areas where we need to get better, we still have challenges and more adversity to come," he said. "We're going to suffer injuries, we're going to suffer downturns of performance. We're going to go through stretches of bad luck, we'll go through stretches of bad performance, we're going to run into really hot teams. We want to stay as locked in as we are right now, but the game is very humbling, and we're aware that time is coming when there will be great challenges. We almost look forward to [challenges]. That's when you find out what you're made of."

Crazy come from behind win, sucks the division is so far out of reach
