Game of the Day
I have to admit, I didn't realize the Cardinals and Cubs were playing a five game series. The Cubs will try to make it four out of five this afternoon when they face St. Louis for the last time this season. With Brett Tomko facing Shawn "The Wilting Man" Estes, a high scoring game is likely. I doubt St. Louis is going to have much of a bullpen left after this series.
This is the last game of the year for the Cubs against a division contender. Apart from a series against Montreal, the Cubs don't play a good team the rest of the season. This is both good and bad. They have an easy schedule, but they can't take out the Astros directly. The Astros and Cardinals do play six games against each other down the stretch; the Cubs have to hope those games are split so they can pass both teams with their eaiser schedule.
