Baxter in June:

 

.324 .405 .351 .756

 

Denorfia in June:

 

.279 .318 .393 .712

 

Soler in May:

 

.288 .336 .423 .759

 

Obviously everyone wants Soler back and he's ideally much, much better for the Cubs in the long run, but talking like he's all but a lock to give them an instant shot of mega-bat to a struggling offense might be jumping the gun a bit.

 

Who said that?

 

Not you, so don't worry about it.

Giants down 3-1 in the 8th

[ARCubsFan]

Giants lose. The Cubs have a 3.5 lead in the Wild Card and a 5 game lead in the loss column

Is this Pham character who won the game for the Cards today legit or more pixie dust?

[Sammys Boombox]

The Giants season will likely be defined by what they do in August. Their opponents:

 

Rangers

Braves

Cubs

Astros

Nationals

Cardinals

Pirates

Cubs

Cardinals

Dodgers

27 years old AAAA-type, high slugging most of the way through the minors. Probably a mix of both.

Dammit, I need closure with that gif. Were they able to free him from the great beast's belly?

He got out with some assistance.

Will Middlebrooks pulled a Starlin yesterday and in all likelihood, nobody in the national media will care. But Starlin would get crucified.

This is probably a net positive for us anyway, but STL tried to bunt in the 10th with Mark [expletive] Reynolds. After he got Molina thrown out at first when that inevitably failed, he hits a [expletive] can of corn that somehow goes out for his 2nd homer of the game.

Pretty annoyed that Jung Ho Kang has become an above average player. Hopefully he Fukudomes out.

his first HR came a pitch after ump called strike 3 a foul

Cardinals blow 3 leads and McCutchen wins it in the 14th with a walkoff homer.

With several BFIB advocating throwing at his head for daring to celebrate a huge win over a division rival

You have no idea how much I'd love that.

I live in St. Louis. My hatred for them burns with the fire of 1,000 suns.

Luckiest team on the face of the Earth

Do we want the Cardinals to win? It does concede the division, but I almost feel like a split of a 4-game series is best for the Cubs.
