Every baseball fan knows that the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals have one of the most storied rivalries in the MLB. Both teams have been around since the 19th century and currently compete as part of the National League’s Central Division. Somewhat ironically, the Cubs and Cardinals have only ever had one MLB playoff matchup despite their intense and ongoing rivalry, a showdown that occurred at the 2015 National League Division Series — a four-game contest that the Cubs handily won 3-1.

Last season, the Cardinals played against the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago. This four-game series was one of the most exciting of the year, with the Cardinals sweeping the Cubs 4-0 — the first time they had done so since 1921 — in what is now known as the “Wrigley Field Massacre.” With this, the Cardinals took the division title and knocked the Cubs out of the running for the playoffs. There’s little doubt that the Cubs will be entering this three-game series with the bitter taste of that defeat still in their mouths, and will be eager to settle the score — this time on the Cardinal’s home turf at Busch Stadium.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)
