“Victory is won not in miles but in inches. Win a little now, hold your ground, and later, win a little more.” – Louis L’Amour
The Cubs were idle last night but the Cardinals and Brewers split a doubleheader, so David Ross and Co. saw their magic number to win the NL Central reduced to 12. They just need any combination of eight wins and Milwaukee losses to clinch a postseason berth. That and an extra day to marvel over the no-hitter tossed by Alec Mills on Sunday made for a nice, relaxing way to burn a PTO day.
