Is 2020 the last swing for the core Cubs that brought their faithful the first World Series since 1908, the group of players that was supposed to establish a dynastic reign over the NL Central with broad-shouldered ability and Miracle Mile charisma? These are the questions explored with Patrick Mooney, a senior writer at The Athletic who covers the Cubs and Major League Baseball, in a brand new BPIB with St. Louis Post-Dispatch baseball writer Derrick Goold. With five games crammed into four days at Wrigley Field, the Cardinals have their final head-to-head chance of 2020 to chew into the rival Cubs' lead in the division. When last the Cardinals visited the North Side for a pivotal September series, they swept all four games -- for the first time in 98 years. All 10 games between the Cardinals and Cubs will be played at Wrigley, were the Cubs have defied their meager offense to tighten a grip on first place in the division. The Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.
