I haven't added it up, but I think the Cubs might have passed Atlanta for the NL lead in ISO.

 

stop massaging your nerdy numbers to suggest that this is anything but a really bad team

Thank God the Cubs have started this earlier than last year's 19-10 surge in June/July, which ended when they traded half the team.

It's a glorious mess of a team.

[Sammy Sofa]

Right now. The regular messy mess will be back.

45 through 4 for Garza.

Platoons are so awesome.

 

27 games in June, 14 are against teams with a worse RD than us.

 

Assuming no epic collapse today, we just need to outperform by three wins to go 17-10 and be .500 heading into July.

Last time the CUBS hit 3 or more HRs in 3 consecutive games..............

[SouthSideRyan]

No Keith, Jim Hickman was not a pitcher.

[Sammy Sofa]

Alright Castro, time to do something awesome.

That could be 16 if we win by more than eight runs today (Arizona +22, Cubs +6 coming into today).

i prefer streaks... let's just streak our way to .500 and then go from there

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS held the opponents to 3 hits in a game.... Wed 22 May 2013 (3 hits) in a 1-0 loss at Pittsburgh

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[SouthSideRyan]

it's about time they give up on this platoon crap and play schierholtz everyday

 

Bogusevic would've hit it further.

If we go 10-17, I am blaming you.

[GammonsPocketTweets]

lets get through this inning and make it official. the rain is coming.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

All I asked from this team going in to the season was to keep me interested until the draft and then the deadline, and they've basically done that. Though that wasn't a high hurdle because it's easy to delude myself when it comes to the Cubs.

[GammonsPocketTweets]

If the score holds day, the Cubs will be +13 in run differential, I believe, the Yankees @ +15 are 30-23. Baseball is odd.

[SouthSideRyan]

Hey, Keith the Cubs are up to 3rd in the NL in HRs now. I'm sure you know who's in 1st.

 

"It's gotta be the Cardinals."

 

No, Keith. It's not the team that's 3rd from last in HRs.

[SouthSideRyan]

Pretty sure our same friend was bitching about Ransom's side of the platoon, too.

 

Where is that guy to enjoy this glorious 7-0 lead?

I really, really like our starters. If we can just get a little lucky with the bullpen going forward, could we really push .500?

If some of the statistical indicators are right and we get some luck, we could blow past it.

 

(or we could just blow, you never know).

[Hairyducked Idiot]

This is probably fair after Garza got away with a ton of line drives and deep fly balls earlier in the game.

Why did the DBacks trade Justin Upton for Prado/Delgado and junk?
