The Cubs just played one of their patented "Wait! Let me roll over so you can kick me in the face" games. Some people think that that was the point of Jesus' admonition in Matthew 5:41. To be weak, to just let someone else take what they want from you. To turn the other cheek so they can hit you again.
"And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain." Matthew 5:41. A Roman soldier could legally force any non-citizen (such as the Jews) to carry his pack and weapons for up to a mile. He was in control of the situation.
"... go with him twain." The soldier could insist on one mile. By going two, the answer was, "You do not control me."
