For the Cubs, an historic feat.

It was an historic night for my Chicago Cubs, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, which noted they were 0-567 on the road in franchise history when trailing by eight or more runs in the sixth inning or later. Now they are 1-567. The Cubs have yet to win three games in a row this season. But last night, after trailing the Washington Nationals 8-0 in the 6th inning, the Cubs rallied and won the game 10-9. Which may be an achievement about as rare as a major league baseball team being unable to win three straight games during a 162-game season. So many chances. So much futility. Anyway, a Cubs fan savors whatever he can get. Especially a rare, unbelievable win after trailing 8-0 in the 6th inning. Yes, one never knows when history is gonna be made. At least, when we are dealing with the Chicago Cubs. A team that hasn’t won a World Series since 1908. –Jim Broede
