I am working hard to take joy in beating the Cardinals as something unto itself, and not think about how this team is finally playing well when it doesn’t matter anymore (they were officially eliminated from playoff contention on Monday). The Cubs smacked Cy Young candidate Adam Wainwright around like he was former Cy Young candidate Adam Wainwright.
And one Cub in particular is quietly looking sufficiently good that he’s pushing another Cub out of a job next year.
