’07.’08.Oh no. Two years of division titles in the Central for the Cubs and that is where it stops. Cubs are hot lately but it’s too little, too late if you were hoping for a three-peat. Cardinals beat the Rockies…

“We’ll always have Pittsburgh”.I say that a lot here, but it always hold true. Swept the Pirates today and it feels good to see the Cubs have that kind of success on the road. But, you know then again, of…
