2008 - What a year!  It’s been one of the most exciting regular seasons that I can remember.  2008 has been full of memorable moments and different heroes from everywhere in the lineup from top to bottom.  The Cubs being in first place almost the entire season long is something that was hard to imagine ever happening.  But there it was, the Cubs jumping into first place in May and never looking back.  WOW!

The 97 Wins by the 2008 Chicago Cubs was the most wins for the Cubbies since 1945, when they won 98 games and went to the World Series for the last time.  The lovable 1984 Cubs won 96 Games.  View a list of the Chicago Cubs Franchise All-Time Regular Season Won-Loss Records.

So with the Chicago Cubs finishing the 2008 Season with a 97-64 record,  here is a look back on the game by game 2008 regular season results:
