Hey, well how bout that we are above .500! Keep playing well idiots and never drop to .500 or below again the rest of the year.

[UMFan83]

Since the 1-6 start, the Cubs have gone 10-4 with a +35 RD

Win this series and I’ll sure be a happy camper.

So we’re 11-10 now and Dodgers are 15-10. How have they played 4 more games than the Cubs at this point? We’ve only had 1 postponement. Just a quirk in scheduling?

[Sammy Sofa]

The Brewers have also played 4 more games. The Cubs were just scheduled with more early off days.

[Brian]

Cubs played 3 opening days and had off days after all them (playing 1 on, 1 off, 3 on, 1 off, 6 on, 1 off) both Milwaukee and Dodgers started the season with 7 straight games.

There are a couple of stretches where a makeup game would kill us. In June/July we have a stretch of 32 games in 33 days, but at least we have the all star break right after. In September to close out the season we have 24 games in 25 days so we could easily have a game made up on that off day and see another death march.

I think, at least in our division, there isn’t a team with an overly friendly September schedule like the brewers had last year. Iirc from looking at schedules at start of the year.

Needs more Zobrist and less Almora

At least Joe recognizes Almora cannot lead off. It’s too bad he isn’t where he belongs (in triple A)

Not this again with the walks

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I honestly do not remember when KB did not suck. That hit helps a little.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

How slow is Descalso?? Damn.

[OleMissCub]

He looked like Sid Bream chugging around third in '93

[Sammy Sofa]

Stupid send, but Bryant is warming my cold, cold heart.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Bryant is a nothingburger to me until he starts hitting dongs.

Eh, I like it with two outs. They executed both throws pretty damn well and he wasn't out by THAT much.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wendy's delivers now? Weird.
