When last we checked in on our 1984 Cubs, they had a mediocre homestand, winning six of 11 against N.L. West foes from California. They remained in second place, 2½ games out of first. 14 games over .500 was acting as a bit of a ceiling as they reached that mark on four separate occasions, each time losing at least one game afterwards. This week, the team heads east to play the Phillies for three and the Mets for four.
Game 96, July 23 - Cubs beat Phillies 3-2 to once again climb 14 over (55-41)
