I hereby rescind any and all gloom and doom you might have heard from me, because as I should have realized all along: This team never quits.
Just when you think the offense has vanished and they won’t score another run evereverever, they perk right back up and play like they have the last three days, in games where it really mattered.
The Cubs reduced their magic number to clinch the N.L. Central title to two in a soggy 8-4 win over the Cardinals, and once again it was Kyle Hendricks showing the way.
