6-11 to get to 70 wins

9-8 to avoid 90 losses

17-0 for a .500 season

It's completely unacceptable that WGN didn't carry a single game in this series.

Agreed! I can't stand listening to Cardinal TV. I don't really get 720am where I live either, so I can't just listen to the radio and watch the game.

[coldsteel]

Big Z !! Perfect man to sweep and knock dead birds clean out of playoff race for good.

[Cubbies2238]

So this game isn't even on ESPN now? I was excited to see some crappy Cubs baseball all day and instead I get to watch the Yankees and Rays?

[UMFan83]

Bases loaded 0 outs for the Cardinals. This won't end well.

Wow the Cardinals suck more than us. The Cubs got out of it with a line drive to RF and a DP by Carpenter. Awesome.

[ELCABALLO45]

Koyie Hill just stole a base?

[Little Slide Rooter]

Did Starlin Castro happen to run over Mike Quades dog? Just curious.

[UMFan83]

Molina made a horrible throw. The steal was off a hit and run that Z swung through.

[UMFan83]

Umps make a bad call that ends up giving the Cardinals a run, blah.

Yadi doesn't make horrible throws. Probably the fielders fault.

Hip bruise, still.

[SouthSideRyan]

So we've hurt Garcia, damaged Wainwright's Cy Young chances and hurt Carpenter. This is what we call a success

And probably ended whatever tiny hope that the Cardinals had of getting back into the race.

[J.R.]

Eff.

[UMFan83]

C'mon put the best relievers in, I want to [expletive] sweep these losers.

[UMFan83]

Our crappy team just went into St. Louis and swept the Cardinals in a three game series where the Cardinals had Garcia, Wainwright and Carpenter starting.

First sweep in Saint Louis since 1988. I can't believe that, but there it is.

[MWV]

After the Cubs put up 4 in the 7th, I wasn't sure if the Cards' fans would be able to summon the collective will to do the wave, but they gutted it out. I guess that's what makes them the best fans in baseball.

[coldsteel]

Mwa ha ha ha !! Victory !!

Works for me!

i think the sleeping bear has forgotten to wake up from its hibernation.

According to the TV there weren't enough fans in the stadium to do the wave by the 9th.
