The St. Louis Cardinals came into Wrigley Field with an 11-24 record and had looked bad most of the season.
Naturally, that resulted in a 3-1 Cubs loss to their arch-rivals. A lot of stuff happened, most of it bad, so let’s get to it.
First, I want to address the reception Willson Contreras received when announced in the St. Louis starting lineup and when a tribute video was played. Boos and cheers were mixed, and he was booed again every time he came to bat. Honestly, that was uncalled for. Regardless of what you think of Contreras’ statements after he signed with the Cardinals, he provided lots of great play and fond memories here.
