That was almost the biggest win of the year. And then, it wasn't.
Often, there are moments in the season of a team headed to the playoffs where you look back and say, "That was the game that sent this team there, that defined who they are."
I was all ready to write that line after the Cubs made their stirring comeback Wednesday evening, and I decided to lead the recap of the Cubs' stunning 6-5 loss to the Cardinals with it anyway. This Cubs team might indeed be headed toward postseason play, and now they will have to shake off defeat in what could have been one of the most exciting comeback wins in recent franchise history.
