I'm a Cubs/Bears/Blackhawks/Bulls/Purdue fan. She's a Brewers/Packers/Bucks/Wisconsin (from Green Bay) fan. The only team she'll support is the Blackhawks. This is what I get for marrying the enemy.
True. My wife pretended to like sports when we started dating, now she has no desire to watch or attend any games and has no idea whats going on. Damn bait and switch...
If the Cubs play .500 ball the rest of the year they will finish 89-73. That would be tied for their second best record in the last 26 years (I'm counting 1998 as 89-73 with a playoff win because it makes the stat look cooler).
Whereas the chances of winning the division from 8.5 back are large enough to definitely matter? The Blue Jays just erased an 8 game deficit in 2 weeks. Cardinals are better than the Yankees but it can be done Edit: David beat me. But seriously July 29 the Blue jays were in 4th place and 8 GB. Tonight they are 0.5 games up
Again I think the hammy injury is lingering and Maddon is trying to limit his innings. I don't think this has anything to do with the game situation or how he was pitching
