Enhanced Box Score: Cardinals 8, Cubs 7 – September 26, 2010
Unfortunately the Cubs couldn’t end their season series against the Cardinals with a win, but it’s unlikely to matter to either team. The team mounted a nice little comeback, but it wasn’t enough because they got so far behind early… Tweet
Enhanced Box Score: Cardinals 3, Cubs 7 – September 25, 2010
Casey Coleman continues to pitch well, and the offense showed up. Nothing beats a victory over the Cardinals, you know? Oh, well, except being competitive and making the playoffs. Tweet
WOW: Bob Brenly Withdraws from Cubs Managerial Consideratino
Citing “personal and professional reasons,” Chicago Cubs broadcaster Bob Brenly has decided to withdraw himself from consideration for the Chicago Cubs managerial job.

A refresher on the series preview here at Bleacher [...]
God’s Wrath Watch: Carlos Silva Likely Done for the Year
Carlos Silva was cruising on his way to his best season in years when an irregular heartbeat brought him down in August. He came back just in time to suffer an elbow strain in early September, and now it looks like his season is over. The right-hander has not pitched since Sept. 7 and missed [...]
Greg Maddux Staying with Cubs for at Least Another Year
