What did that get them? 89 wins. After going to the NLCS. LOL, yeah, that's all... no postseason. I will gladly take 89 wins this season, thanks AND you all know the offense wasnt the reason they didnt go to the playoffs that year.. His name is Latroy Hawkins... and I hate him. That was part of it but the offense slumped down the stretch too. The Cubs lost some heartbreakers in the last 2 weeks of that season; specifically against Cincy and the Mets. IIRC, Prior lost a 1-0 game down the stretch. Anyway, it was the relief pitching and the offense that failed at the end. No he lost a 2-1 game. He gave up a solo homer to Kearns in the ninth to tie it.
