The Cubbies have a flair for the dramatic. Wouldn't have it any ever way.

It would have been the perfect story too lol.  Power hitting prospect wins the game with a walkoff HR in his MLB debut

[Dfan25]

Hoyer should pay  Leiter a cruise and get him a 1 week vacation . 

[Sosa21MVP]

Easy win, never in doubt.

[Dfan25]

How many HRS for Torkelson tomorrow againts Smyly 

[Dfan25]

Cubs are going thru hell againts these teams. . Pitching already in a bad place and they are just starting g this brutal part of the schedule with no off days 

[itisallpartoftheplan]

6 games over .500 is a season high, right?

If it's our turn for the Marlins' 1-run victory streak, so be it. A win is a win 

[chibears55]

I hope the bats can put up double digits tomorrow, these late innings guys need a break 

[Dfan25]

If Smyly struggles tomorrow , it may be time to give Wicks a look 

[bukie]

Cubs now 6 games over .500 for the first time this season, and sneak into the WC2 spot with SF losing.

[Brian707]

Their pythagorean record will start to even out with these 1 run games lol

Definitely feels like a house of cards. The offense isn't scoring enough to give them the rest they need so badly. Really need these guys to get back in a groove.

They will need at least 10 with Smyly on the mound

[Transmogrified Tiger]

"okay starting with the Royals series the Cubs really need to rack up some wins"

(Cubs win 3 of 4 and climb to WC2)

"no not like that, elbows are too pointy relievers are getting overused"

 

it's okay to enjoy the good outcomes, folks
