Cubs win again, clinch home-field advantage?

Published by kevinryan12 at 6:11 pm under Games Edit This

The Cubs won their final regular season game at Wrigley Field this season behind a line-up that featured many late season call-ups.  Ryan Dempster pitched well for the Cubs today as the Cubs cruised to a 5-1 victory against their rivals from St. Louis.  The win gives the Cubs their 94th on the year.  They finish their regular season home record at 55-26.  Believe it or not, the Cubs have only had a better record at home twice in their long history at Wrigley Field.  They went 56-23 in 1933 and they went 56-21 in 1935.  It’s pretty amazing to see so many long droughts being broken by this 2008 club.

NOTE: With one more loss by the Phillies or one more Cubs victory, the Cubs will have clinched home-field advantage throughout the National League playoffs.

I will post pictures from today’s game later.  Until then…

Go Cubs!
