I wouldn't mind starting every game thread for the remainder of July. Just sayin'. :stickman:

Allright Matt, keep this going. Time to show why you're worth someone gutting their system for.

[bcl412]

Still hoping that were in the beginning of a magical win streak that gets the Cubs back in the race.

Not watching the game, but @AwfulAnnouncing giving props to the Cubs for posting OPS+ numbers on the broadcast. Not sure whose idea it was, but definitely cool to see.
