Cubs lose 😕

and now I have to root for the Cardinals to win so we don't lose any ground to the Brewers. And I know from bitter experience that I can't depend on the Cardinals for anything.

Okay Cubbies, shake it off and go get those Reds!

GO CUBS GO!!!

They gained no ground on the Brewers. Who have been spanking the Cardinals this year.

because they won and the Brewers lost. They were seven behind and now they're six behind. I'll gladly take it one game at a time.

But at least the Cubs are one of the teams decently above .500, so that’s good. A lot of teams are scuffling along near break even (or worse).

for the Wild Card. There's still a long way to go, but I'm keeping hope alive.
