While enjoying (very MUCH...I'm originally from Central Illinois) this weekends sweep of the Cardinals, I thought, if the Cubs could have 10 games back, where could they be....:

I can find 10 games
Easy that would make the difference between this miserable mess and being "in contention" for a wild card spot.......(I may start a diary for...find 10 games....)...please chime in and make your own top 10 ......

1. O for San Diego.....The Cubs should have taken 2 in SD and Dempster blew his 1st save in Chicago a week later.  
(3)  

2.  The Cubs should have swept the Braves Memorial Day weekend...not the other way around.
(3)

3.  Houston, June 16...0 for 9 with RISP.
(1)

4.  Florida 5/23 ...Dempster's 2nd blown save.
(1)

5.  White Sox 7/1.  AJ's revenge...another blown save.
(1)

6.  Mets July 16 (or July 14)...Todd Walker's fielding meltdowns.
(1)

7.  There are several other 1 run losses out there to pick from....and have listed more than 10......

Woulda, coulda, shoulda.........
