Last week, we covered a seven-game homestand. After the longest road trip of the season (12 games) that we covered the week before ended at 6-6, there was reason to be optimistic that the Cubs could pile up some wins and build a little cushion in the division. Unfortunately, it didn’t go that way. Things started out promising enough with two wins in three games from the Expos. But then the Phillies came to town and swept the Cubs in a four game set. After losing five of seven, the Cubs find themselves two games out of first place.
