Cubs 8, Cardinals 2: Where was this last weekend?
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports It might have been too little, too late, but the Cubs’ 8-2 win over the Cardinals Friday night was still satisfying.
Why? Well, first, it ended the team’s dreadful nine-game losing streak. Further, Cubs wins over the Cardinals are always satisfying, no matter where the two teams are in the league standings. And the win kept the Cardinals from clinching a tie for the N.L. Central title, though their magic number dropped to two when the Brewers also lost, and that fact is a summation of this season:
Amazing: It has been 54 days, going back to Aug. 4, when the #Brewers and #STLCards have lost on the same day.
