Baseball Notes

While the Chicago Cubs won yesterday, it was just their fifth win in 15 games, four coming vs the 24 games under .500, Cincinnati Reds.

Speaking of four, last year the New York Mets after being swept in a 4 game, meaningless regular season series at Chicago vs the Cubs, swept the Cubs in 4 straight in the NLCS.

This past weekend, again the Mets won all four vs the Cubs. Chicago had won 9 straight regular season games vs the Mets until last weekend’s 4 straight wins by the New York team.
