The Cubs did a little swashbuckling and pillaging in beating the Pirates 18-8 last night, going 10-for-24 (.417) with runners in scoring position while stealing eight bases. To that you may ask, “Where has this team been all season?” I’m with you. Pittsburgh still has talent in spite of their record, though they couldn’t keep Chicago from running amok in a relentless display of high-octane baseball.
