Cubs now 7-0 vs the Pirates this year. -
Keep the season sweep alive.
-
If you wanted to reverse-UMfan this game, the Cubs were one pitch away from a 6-0 shutout.
-
Cubs back to 6 games over .500. I am skeptical of their chances of winning 100 games this season, unfortunately.
-
Patrick Wisdom has over a .900 OPS since returning from injury in July. Morel is something in the realm of 5 for his last 50. I think it's probably good on Ross for giving him a spot start on getaway day and give Morel a day off. Good on you for noticing that, a lesser individual would probably look at Wisdom's batting average and say something ignorant.
-
Well, I mean, he's probably not going to score any runs for the Cubs, so...
-
If you are convinced he's the best starting option for the Cubs right now, then yes, I am skeptical you knew who he was before the article. Smyly may not be a viable MLB starter option, but Wicks is barely a viable AAA starter option at the moment.
-
No, someone mentioned his name in an article, so it's clearly the best option.
-
A little better and the Cubs might have been able to pick up wins the last 2 days.

I can't believe Illinois is dodging Rutgers this season. -
Cubs now 6 games over .500 for the first time this season, and sneak into the WC2 spot with SF losing.

In the two weeks since I started this thread, everyone has effectively treaded water aside from the Braves, Dodgers, Giants and Padres. What does it all mean? The Braves and Dodgers effectively have the top 2 seeds locked up, so no byes are realistically in play anymore. The Giants have fallen from safely clear of a playoff spot to in the muddle for the last 2 playoff spots. The Padres have fallen more than 5 games out of a playoff spot, barely ahead of the Mets who gave up a month ago. Despite their solid underlying numbers, they're really in an uphill battle now and would have to go on an unreal tear to pass 4 teams that are 5+ games ahead of them. The Cubs are still in a playoff spot at the moment, but could use another good run of wins to get into a solid position.

Cmon Morel, it's been too long since you had a big hit.
-
It looks like a batting glove. Many hitters wear them to improve grip on the bat and reduce sting from bat reverb. You can see it on his other fingers as well.
-
As long as the Cubs can keep winning, the rest should take care of itself. The Braves and Dodgers are really the only teams in the NL that have consistently won all season (side note, the Dodgers suddenly have the second best record in baseball).
-
Because it was a road game and the trip around the bases would have looked a bit much for a non-walkoff.
-
If only Fields had hit Moore in stride, he may have taken it all the way for a TD.
-
I appreciate the shade in referring to MIL as a dreg of the NL Central.

Petition to change Derwoods title to "It's just...unnecessary"

Famously the only player in the league that gets that benefit.

Tyler right now:
-
Although now I'm a little disappointed his name isn't Will Turner to get the full Nottingham experience.
-
Well he should see plenty of action there.
-
They lose the tiebreakers with the Phillies, Marlins, and Dodgers, need to pick up one game against the Reds and Brewers, win the tiebreaker vs the Padres, and lead the tiebreaker against the Braves.
