The Rundown: Cubs Take 3 of 4 from Bucs, Coghlan Knocks Kang Out for Season with Hard Slide, Magic Number to Single Digits, Milo Hamilton Passes Away

Oh, how the worm has turned.

Downtrodden and derelict following a 3-game skid that included 2 losses to the Phillies, the Cubs then rattled off 3 in a row in Pittsburgh to cut their Wild Card gap to 2 games. That’s very not not good. If you’re bad with double-negatives, I just said that what the Cubs did isn’t something that wouldn’t be considered successful, which is to say that people should be happy.

Um, okay.

No matter how you say it, winning 3 of 4 is big no matter who you’re playing. But when you’re playing a division rival — and one who sits directly ahead of you in the standings — it’s that much sweeter.
