October?
This is very hard to watch. I use the term "watch" loosely, if you call staring a web-page with a boxscore that refreshes every so often watching...
The Wild Card really was the Cubs' to lose going into this week. And they may have done just that. September isn't about working miracles. It's about beating who you're supposed to beat. The Cubs are supposed to beat the sub-.500 Reds. They're supposed to beat the under-achieving Mets. Instead, they lose two super critical series while the Astros sweep the Cardinals.
Steve Stone said on WGN Radio:
Don't misunderstand. I love the Cubs, but it's really hard to stomach a meltdown like this... when Prior comes out of hibernation and fans 16. You just can't lose those types of games in this type of situation and expect everyone to be cavalier about it.

Steve Stone said on WGN Radio:
"You want the truth? You can't handle the truth." "Let me tell you something, guys, the truth of this situation is [this is] an extremely talented bunch of guys who want to look at all directions except where they should really look, and kind of make excuses for what happened.
"At the end of the day, boys, you don't tell me how rough the water is, you bring in the ship. The best eight [teams] go on, the other teams go home," Stone said. "This
team should have won the Wild Card [playoff berth] by six, seven games. No doubt
about it. They have the talent to do that. They're life-and-death right now."
