I think I've located 2 of the Cubs problems.....(1)they peaked early....(2)they quit scoring as many runs.

Proof?

The Astros were peaking until that awful cat 3 cane hit SE Texas.
Still think Houston would have at least tied for the WC. 
IKE cost them at least 2 games, maybe 3. 


Make that 12-15 since September 1st.....one run vs. LA....won't win many games. The Astros would have at least shown up in this series. The Cubs didn't. I don't think the Astros would have won, with Furcal being back and LA having the all-world MANRAM, but they would have shown up.

0-9 since.....
