Well it's August, not yet but it will be, and our World Champion Chicago Cubs are sitting in first place at a season high 8 games over .500. Welcome to the team Justin Wilson and Alex Avila!! I moved to 2-0 as game thread starter. They weren't the prettiest offensive games but I helped the Cubs with improbable rallies. Bryant HLS RBI then a GW HR by Heyward followed by a GW HR by Victor Caratini and a "close and late HR by Bryant. As game thread starter Bryant is picking up stats that aren't empty and proving he can be an asset, hopefully he keeps it up. Speaking of keeping it up Jake has been great lately...not God mode Jake but Jake is pitching we got this mode Jake. It's got to be the haircut. Nevermind it's another pitcher with little to no hair up top, he's looking to keep it up though after bouncing back from the pre all star breaking outing vs Pittsburgh to win his last 3. http://www.csnchicago.com/sites/csnchicago/files/styles/article_hero_image/public/2016/04/12/jon-lester-fired-up-5-16-15.png?itok=ezMpYi6- Score early and often and win, Cubs!
