Time to Move

Look at the schedule. The Cubs are at home playing the Giants as they trail in the Wild Card by 4 in the loss column. Where's Atlanta? Playing their next three against the Nationals. Where's Philadelphia? Playing their next three against the Astros.

I guarantee you this: Two of the four teams ahead of them will lose at least 2 games in the next three days.

If the Cubs are going to make up any ground, this is the week to do it. A sweep of the Giants and they go from 4 games back of the Wild Card to no worse than 2 games back.

If the Parrot is to be resuscitated, the next three days are huge.
