Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Holy Cow!
Trust me, losing isn't lovable
Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Cubs Win! Holy Cow!

The Cubs finished a four game series against the Reds this afternoon with a 5-1 win. Although the score indicates an easy win, the Cubs were down 1-0 heading into the eighth, and won the game off Danny Graves with a 4 run ninth.

Due to MLB's sensational blackout rules, I wasn't able to watch this afternoon's game... or the Bears game (but we beat the Packers!). Anyhow, despite losing a game on Saturday I would have liked to have won, the Cubs have kept pace with the Giants, and remain .5 a game back.

Tommorrow, the Cubs get off to an early start with a double header against the Marlins in Florida, before heading to Pittsburgh for a three game series.

In other news, Ron Santo has had another medical scare... and will miss the trips to Florida and Pittsburgh while he visits his cardiologist at Northwestern's Hospital. The official word is an irregular heartbeat which caused his implanted defibrillator to go off... thecubdom.com wants to wish Ron Santo a quick recovery and to let him know that Cubdom is praying for him.

Well, I have a tax class exam coming up in a week, so tonight's weekend recap is going to be short... but know this: Barry Bonds hit #700 off Jake Peavy on Saturday, but the Cubs still control their own destiny.

Magic Number: 15 Cubs wins or Giants losses... 15 games remain.

Also, today's win was #82, guaranteeing a second winning season in two years... amazing!
