“We’re all movin’ on up. Lord, have mercy. We’re movin’ on up!” – The Impressions, We’re a Winner
The Cubs capped a semi-successful road trip by taking two of three from the Blue Jays but still managed to fall in the standings. The North Siders trail the Brewers by 3.5 games and the Marlins have a one-game lead over Chicago for the final Wild Card spot. No pumping the brakes now. Chicago’s North Side baseballers have upcoming series against the White Sox, Royals, Tigers, and Pirates before a three-game set at Wrigley Field against the Brewers to close the month of August.
