Holy Cow!!!!!!

What a game!

wow, wow

i went to bed after the 7th, had a little hope but mostly left them for dead - pretty surprised when i saw the results in the morning

wood and lester are getting a lot of buzz (deservingly so) but i feel like contreras isn't getting enough love for his role - if he isn't hustling down the line he doesn't breakup a routine double play and the game is over

what a crazy world we live in where kyle hendricks is our best pitcher

I think we all felt the week link in the staff would be Hendricks and he's been amazing. Gave us even more than we needed tonight.

I don't know a lot about Joe Smith, but like the deal. With Smith, Wood, Montgomery, Nathan, Strop, Rondon, and Chapman I really like the way our bullpen looks.

russell is really good in high leverage situations and at home

he's almost driven in as many rbi's as bryant

wow

its 4-2 marlins after the top of the ninth when i leave work and i get home to see they won

this team man, they don't quit

I caught the bottom FA the9th on MLB TV. Wow is right!

soler back in a big way!

cubs win again

and good arietta is back!

another game, another great hendricks outing

Soler looking good since coming off the DL!

Three-fifths of the Cubs rotation has now won NL Player of the Week awards:

J. Arrieta - Week 4
J. Lester - Week 11
K. Hendricks - Week 20

woooo

big win today, take that cardinals!

Yesterday's game was fun too! Looked like batting practice out there at a few points. Worst case we don't lose any ground, but we have a chance to put the Cardinals way in the rear view.

well the streak's over, 11 wins in a row

Tonight was painful. It is completely second guessing, but maybe they should have put Rondon on the DL. Then they could have sent him on a rehab assignment to get back his feel before throwing him out there. That 5 run 8th was painful to watch. It was even worse after having the bases loaded and no outs and getting nothing. Still 12 up in the division and 4 up for best record in the NL, but the game being blow like that stings since Rondon is generally very reliable.

woo bryant, offense is cooking

bryant is back leading the nl in homers

13 games up in the division, and 5 games up for best record - just chugging along

all this winning is getting pretty dull huh



who you guys got for mvp so far: bryant or rizzo?

Bryant for MVP and it isn't really close. Arenado a distant 2nd then Rizzo, Seager and Murphy in some order 3-5. Cy Young I've got Hendricks as the #1, MadBum 2nd and Arrieta 3rd. I have Syndergaad, Cueto, Scherzer and Kershaw lumped 4th-7th right now. If Kershaw can get to 160 innings he probably wins it, but he's gotta get back fast and make 5 starts so it seems unlikely.
