The Cubs have to make up their entire three-game series with the Marlins. I guess they've got one shared off day between them in which they'll play a double header and then the third game will come as a double header during the last series between the fish and little bears here in Wrigley.
Astros 9 game tear is incredible.
As for Sammy, I've been informed that there is a one week window during which the Cubs are actually permitted to trade him away in the offseason. It's actually a clause in his contract. God I hope they take advantage of it. But who the hell would take him?
