Another day closer to the #2 pick.

 

I know we aren't catching them, but it feels like we are gaining on the Astros.

Another day closer to the #2 pick.

 

I know we aren't catching them, but it feels like we are gaining on the Astros.

That is only because of their current 1 game winning streak.

I feel like we will have over 100 losses.

I don't think we've gained any ground on them. We seem to be constantly 9.5 games ahead of them. They're the juggernauts of the fecal league.

[CincyCubsFan]

Coulda been an inside the parker if e didn't, well, you know...

[Cubswin11]

[El Duderino]

Alberto had 14 walks in 55 minor league innings this year, and has 9 in 9 major league innings. I hate baseball.
