Damn. We good.

Mediocre

Amazing.,

The Cubs offense is on a historic 10 game run.

Like, a lot of unprecedented stuff.

Even a game as simple as the Cubs blowing an 8-0 against the Padres. That puts the Cubs 2 closer to the Padres and gives them the tie breaker against them as well. Same issue last year with Dbacks. Win one of those against the Dbacks and the Cubs are in and Az out. Gomes just misses a homer at Wrigley and gets thrown out at second…. The ball off it Thompson that Dansby doesn’t catch…. Either goes the  ins way and they are in. I worry the same thing will happen this year.

“Relax, it’s only april/may/jun… cut Neris trade for catcher fire Jed blah blah”. They’re trending towards that 84-88 win range which is exactly what we expected.

I wish there was a Tony Soprano curb stomp GIF- 😁

At the end of the eighth I said that I'm going to do watch the ninth before I put my clothes in the dryer. They could have dried by now 

[Irrelevant Dude]

I know nobody cares, but Amaya somehow getting to bat again in the 9th and getting a hit secured my 5th straight parlay win betting on the Cubs.  Not bad!

[Donzo]

99 runs in the last 10 games.

[JHBulls]

14 runs today is only this lineups equal 2nd highest score of the last 6 games.

That might not be sustainable.

It actually ties the 2nd highest score of the last 6 games.

 

Edit: equal and ties is the same thing- oops

I have to give this team credit, they're making the run-up to the end of the season interesting.

Can't remember if ever I seen a cubs offense score so many runs in a span of 10 games, including 5 of them in double figures.

99 runs in last 10 games, I was hoping they'd get 1 more for 100

On only 15 homers too.

Still blows my mind there's a 104 run difference between the Cub and Cardinal run differential,  but only 2 games in the standings.

Chalk it up to devil magic.

Super Cubs, Super Bowl!

[Cubfanintheknow]

At the very least... they're holding my interest through the start of the Bears' season.

[NorthsideAvenger]

It sucks the Cubs do not play Atl/Ari/NYM/SD again yet there is room for the Yankees and the A's on the schedule. 

[Bertz]

Counsell seems to be giving Keegan an opportunity to quickly re-enter the circle of trust.  Him and Pearson having a hig September would be really big heading into the winter.

The real fake rally was the wins we had along the way.

You most certainly haven't. I read today that 1930 is the only time since the turn of the 20th century that we have scored more runs in a 10 game span.
