When last we checked in the 1984 Cubs, they’d just won three consecutive series on the west coast with an overall record on the trip of 8-3. Their overall record was up to 48-36. They were in second place and half a game out of first place. With three days off for the All-Star break, the team was rested and ready to go for the second half and looking to chase history, as no Cubs team had been to the playoffs in 39 years. Let’s see how the chase goes. This week we’ll be looking at an 11-game homestand that finishes the season series with the teams from California.
