Cubs historical Heroes and Goats: 2003, Part 3
Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty ImagesWelcome back to our look at the 2003 Cubs. When last we looked in, the Cubs had wrapped up a 7-3 homestand after winning five of the final six and the last three games of the homestand. They had moved into first place by a game, though who is really counting in April? But, after a 95 loss season in 2002, there was definitely some excitement brewing. The Cubs would go on the road for a quick three game set with lots of momentum on their side. They’d face a Pirates team that they’d just taken two of three from a week earlier. Could they do it again?
