Well, since the Cubs aren't going to win the division, gotta keep an eye out on the Wild Card race. you're a little late on that one. he took a different approach, though... yeah, but his name is chuckywang. You got a problem with that?
Plus the lineups are rarely the same in a DH. The catcher usually switches, as well as several position players meaning that a team is weakened either one or both games. Fortunately, the Cubs are deep so it wouldn't hurt them as much. Elias Sports Bureau says DHs are swept 48.9% of the time. Which is pretty much what you expect if both teams have a 50/50 shot at winning.
The same way you call a major league ballgame by essentially using a soundboard of corn-fed clichéd sayings? It is Hawk. To be fair, he did invent most of those cliches.
You bet they did, in Washington in... April, was it? Gm# Date Opponent Score Starter Opp Starter

Ah, I almost forgot about the immortal Wil Nieves. What a gamer!
I just noticed today that the Cubs are now in the team lead for strikeouts. Not sure how long this has been going on, but the Cubs will have a chance continue the streak they've held since 2001.
