Might want to check that math. Whoops. I looked at total bases instead of hits for Castro. Castro is really averaging 1.23 hits per game, which is still really good.
Castro now has 190 hits on the season. He's averaging 1.68 hits per game for his career. For comparison, Pete Rose averaged 1.19. If he can avoid injuries, Castro is going to rack up a boatload of hits.
Cubs are 49-0 when they lead at the end of the 9th inning or later. :D You sure we haven't taken the lead in extra innings and blown it this year? There wouldn't be extra innings if we lead after the 9th ;) False! What if they're on the road smart guy? :D The end of the 9th is still the end of the 9th whether you're on the road or at home. If the Cubs hold a lead after 9 innings of baseball have been played, then they can't blow it.
