8/27 Cubs (Marquis) @ Pirates (Duke) - 11:35 AM CSN Chicago

[Mizzou]

Holy crap, the Cubs have now won 13 of 14 on the road. The ability to win on the road was team's only legitimate question mark. They're the best team in baseball, hands down. They should win the World Series.

That's why I said "had".

that's why I said "wasn't it"

Cole Hamels will be tough tomorrow. He absolutely dominates us. In his last 3 starts against us he is 3-0 with a 1.23 ERA and a 0.77 WHIP with 20 K. He has given up 4 HRs against us though.

 

I am posting this in here because I looked it up just now and the next game thread isnt up.

So that is 3 days in a row for Wood yes? Does kind of suck he won't be available for the first game against the Phils probably. Yeah, that appearance last night with a big lead wasn't the smartest thing.

[RedFlash]

Wait a minute, the Cubs already played and won?

 

 

Stupid college........

 

 

 

 

A belated, GO Cubs GO.

Hamels really hasn't been as dominant this year though. Plus we're throwing our 4 best at them, so I feel confident about that as well.

 

That was a pretty fun game to follow, finished before my class at 2 began. I like quick, well-pitched games. Jason Marquis is the Pirate killer.

How did Woody look today?

How did Woody look today?

 

Nasty. His slider was amazing and he was spotting his fastball quite well.

[RedFlash]

Don't look now, but the Cubs are 9 runs away from the RS/RA differential 200 runs...How cool is that...scoring 200 more runs then allowing?

the 2001 Mariners run differential was around +300. Insane, but that's how you win 117 games

And Seattle hasn't been the same sense...........

 

Besides when was the last time the Cubs had a run differential of 200?

This is the best sports team I've ever followed on a day to day basis. And it's not even close.

 

Let's keep it up tomorrow...I'm curious right now as to how many W streaks of 5 or more we have.

6 times the Cubs have put 5 wins in a row.
