Call this series "important" or whatever, Cubs/Cardinals baseball is always compelling.
Most of what I wanted to say about this game, and series, I said in the series preview, which I hope you'll check out if you haven't already.
Let's just say that it's great to have a Cubs/Cardinals June series that actually means something for both teams. We haven't had one like that this late in the year since 2009. And we get another one in less than two weeks, as seven of the Cubs' next 13 games are against St. Louis.
