Only 0.5 games behind our biggest lead of the season (when we were up 5.5 on St. Louis and 6 on Milwaukee the Saturday before the ASG). We completely blew a 5.5 game lead and then built it back up to 5 games in the span of 15 games.
The media is eating this up like its such a big story. Griffey is washed up and not good. All that's left for him is his name. Why is this even leading off news shows?
^^ Those are some fantastic pictures. Interesting that Harden has had 2 road starts. The first start he chose the blues, and the second he chose the grays. Both home games he wore pinstripes.
He's fine by Gameday, there's been a lot of offspeed stuff this inning. Sportsline had a couple of 90/fastballs in this inning. I definitely trust Gameday over CBS though.
That's the thing that scares me about the Cubs. Last October, the offense went completely cold. Last week the Cubs offense went completely cold. If this happens again in October, it doesn't matter how good our pitching is. That said, the Cubs have a deep enough bench that they can make adjustments if certain hitters aren't cutting it in October.
