“It doesn’t matter to me; chasing the clouds away.” – Tuesday Afternoon by The Moody Blues
The Cubs won and the Brewers, Padres, Mets, and Giants all lost, so we are one game closer to playoff baseball at Wrigley Field. Chicago has a four-game lead on San Diego for the top Wild Card spot, and its magic number to clinch a postseason berth is eight. It’s always nice when that combination of wins and losses reaches single digits. Even the most pessimistic of Cubs fans can exhale just a little after last night’s 3-2 win over the Braves.
