Holy Cow! Cubs Just Lost the Post-Season

The Cubs lost in fantastic fashion yeasterday to the Cardinals, blowing a 6-run lead.

Mark my words: the Cubs won't make the playoffs.

They're 10 games out of first. Three games back in the Wild Card race, behind very good San Francisco and San Diego clubs. It's the end of July. And the Cardinals have been playing consistently good baseball all season.

I hope I'm proven wrong, but the Cubs need to go on a unholy terror through August and some other teams need to start losing if there is any hope of the Northsiders making into post season play.

Maybe it's time to pick up a Chicago White Sox jersey? They're only a half game out of first and are still seriously contending.
