The Cubs beat the Expos 5-4. Mike Bielecki defeated the newly acquired Mark Langston. Langston was traded from Seattle for among others Randy Johnson. This broadcast is from WGN.
1989 Expos had such high hopes. They were in first place as of Aug 2nd and then proceeded to have the worst collapse in franchise history. The team forgot how to hit.

Thank you for posting
Bielecki and that windup! I remember as a kid I used to mimic that motion.
popeye Zimmer was my favorite cubs coach of all time
Langston doubled @ 48:40
I had a clip of this game(specifically, the dawson home run) on a memory stick I have since lost, so it is nice to see the full game

Did you see that lineup at the top and the bottom? It's a miracle that they were in first place as long as they were.
