CUBS SMOTHER REDS FOR 93rd WIN at Cubsquest.com

30 September:

The strangeness that is the 2015 Chicago Cubs continues.

They continue to steamroll meaningless games while having auditions they didn"t dream of back in Mesa. Tuesday night it was Kris Bryant playing four positions while Travis Wood closed.

This is new territory for Cub fans.

Not only are the years of losing over, but now one has the interesting spectacle of watching manager Joe Maddon toy with his lineup and pitching staff in preparation for the all important appointment with destiny on October 7th.

CUBS CLINCH PLAYOFF SPOT at Cubsquest.com

27 September:

The party must have been a doozy.

First of all, congratulations to Tom Ricketts.

Success...
