Over their last 77 regular season games, the Cubs have gone 56-21 (60-26 in you include playoffs), which is a 118-44 pace over a full season.

That's awesome. I really hope we can convince him to stay on as a bench coach next year.

It's not cool now that others have copied it.

(CBS) After often batting his pitcher eighth and then-rookie shortstop Addison Russell ninth in 2015, Cubs manager Joe Maddon acknowledged Wednesday that he plans to go back to the more traditional approach.

 

Maddon indicated he’s likely to bat his pitcher ninth in 2016, in large part because he’s been pleased with Russell’s progress.

I like the idea of taking steps to end this division race by the end of May. A win today would help.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Honestly, I want to dong every game. But this game I really want to dong them to death. We've displayed our superiority in every other facet of the game -- pitching, base running, defense, fundamentals. Now it is time to dong. Assert our donging dominance today and this will be pretty much the perfect series.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

If we can get to them early, maybe hit a couple dongs, then what are the chances that Martinez loses his composure and maybe tries to start a beanball war? We know these guys have a bit of an inferiority complex, as evidenced by them airing the Rodney Dangerfield Greatest Hits all off-season. And Martinez is a little too tightly wound, as it is. Plus, there's some horsefeathers going back to last year. A quick 5-spot in the first and I'm betting someone gets a ball in the ribs.

I did not realize our next 10 games after today are against the Reds, Brewers and Braves.
