The bad case:
The Cubs lose four straight games this weekend, the Cardinals’ winning streak hits 16, we all walk away pretty sad but it’s something we’re already resigned to and we can at least make the better-draft-pick-this-way argument to ourselves.
The good case:
The Cubs do the bare minimum and win one game against the Cardinals, ending the winning streak and giving us one last happy thing at Wrigley before what could be a long, locked-out offseason.
