I'm just now rambling because I can't do it anywhere but here, but why did I even care so much right there? The Cubs won a World Series and it's July 1. I can't help it, though. It just happened. I was nervous.

Only .5 back of the fake Brewers. Five up on the mediocre Cards.

 

We'll be up 8-10 going into September.

that was fun

 

1/2 game back

 

And the Cards are 5 back, about to head out west for the next week. We're really close to being able to write them off for the division.

Because winning the World Series means more if you’re invested all the way on July 1st. The peaks and valleys makes baseball the best sport.

Just get the rotation going right. I think they will. Too many innings of them being good to think they are doomed forever. There aren't any truly horrifying trends, such as loss of velocity. And most of them haven't been horrible, just a little off and not good enough. If Yu gets healthy, that will help a ton.

 

The bullpen is going to be fine now that Morrow is back and Carl will soon join them.

 

This offense is going to crush teams in the second half, though. Way too deep. Way too good. The dongs are coming. The situational hitting already has. The base running is excellent. The defense is too.

So true.

 

I just imagine me pacing and scared and a guy like Duker siting there with his hand down his pants without a care in the world because he sees the future better than almost anyone. And that frustrates me.

Truth. I don't begrudge anyone for hopping on the bandwagon in October 2016, because I KNOW they didn't enjoy it as much as we did.

I don’t think it can be overemphasized that they haven’t fired on all cylinders and/or been healthy all season. They’re much better than they’ve played and as long as they don’t go on a pre ASB losing streak it wouldn’t surprise me to see a double digit lead on the division by September 1st.
