Yesterday didn't quite go as us Cub fans might have hoped! After his magnificent no-hitter, Carlos had me feeling better about him. But getting his butt kicked by St. Louis was not what I was hoping for from big Z...
Despite this, the Magic Number is down to 1. It would take an epic collapse to lose it now, but Milwaukee would have to stop panicking and run the table for us to blow it even by losing. That's not going to happen to the team that was so messed up that they had to fire their manager with only 12 games left!
I await the moment when the Cardinals watch the Cubs celebrate. It is sweet to imagine this possibility. Ted Lilly takes the ball for us today, against the Cardinals' Joel Piniero. In Milwaukee, the Reds crushed 7 (yes!) homers against the Brewers yesterday in their efforts to help us out. In a desperate attempt to get the Wild Card, they are starting C.C. Sabathia, while the Redd have thweir talented Caribbean Jonny Cueto pitching.
