Cubs Scorecard

This is a large string of text that appears to be a complete baseball season schedule for the Chicago Cubs in 2010. The format of the data suggests that it is an XML document, where each game is represented as a single element with various attributes and child elements.

Here's a brief overview of the structure:

• Each game is represented by a single <game> element
• The game date is represented by an @date attribute on the <game> element
• The home team (Cubs) is represented by an @homeTeam attribute on the <game> element, which contains the string "Chicago Cubs"
• The away team is not explicitly mentioned in this data, but it can be inferred to be a visiting team that played against the Cubs on a given date
• Each game has a series of attributes that describe various aspects of the game, such as:
  • inning and score for the number of innings played and final score
  • startPitcher, reliefPitchers, and endPitcher to identify specific pitchers involved in the game
  • batters and outcomes to track batted balls, outs, and hits

Here's an example of what a single <game> element might look like:

<game date="2010-05-15">
    <inning>9</inning>
    <score>Cubs 3 - Cardinals 1</score>
    <startPitcher>Carlos Zambrano</startPitcher>
    <reliefPitchers>Jeff Samardzija, Kerry Wood</reliefPitchers>
    <endPitcher>Kerry Wood</endPitcher>
    <batters>
        <!-- batted balls and outs data -->
    </batters>
    <outcomes>
        <!-- hits, errors, and other outcome data -->
    </outcomes>
</game>
