And when the Brewers were playing the Tigers weren't the Cubs playing the Mariners, who at the time were one of the hottest teams in baseball? But whatever, I don't really buy into this anyways, it's just the nature of division and league we're in. The Cubs have won 6 in a row and only gained 1 game, that sucks yes, but they have a chance to change that this weekend and hopefully they take advantage.
