If mediocrity didn’t reign throughout the National League wild-card race this year, one would have to wonder if the Cubs could finally put the Cardinals out of their misery this weekend.
The Cubs would love nothing more than to sweep the three-game series against their heated rivals to seal their 100th victory of the season Sunday night at Wrigley Field.
“Go Cubs Go” has been played a staggering 55 times after Cubs victories at Wrigley Field this season. The Cardinals must hope they don’t hear that song after any of the three games this weekend because they need to figure out a way to keep pace and eventually surpass the Mets and Giants in the wild-card race.
