Solar? Come squirrel you are better then that. I’m shaking my head enough over someone posting pitching stats over a small period of a season. Saw enough of that the first 2 weeks of the season.

Shake, shake, shake!

If the Cards win and the Cubs lose St. Louis moves into first.

I must have missed that one.

There’s a video of it here. Make it full screen and check out the location on pitch cast.

That strike call in the 9th would have been high on Manute Bol.

Just when I was getting optimistic the five starters (except for Ouintana) have taken a dump.

Could be worse, Astros 23 Orioles 2.

That inning looked like the Cubs on the road most the year. You can’t win them all and there is still a couple innings left but why the hell wont Joe let Cishek get some rest! No reason to pitch him tonight. Steve Cishek to the 10-day IL with left hip inflammation. Dillon Maples recalled from AAA I...

I don’t think I need to worry about Darvish anymore, but now I worry about Lester. In his last two outings he’s been rocked giving up 14 earned runs in just 9 innings.

Kimbrel on the 10 day IR with right knee inflammation retroactive to August 4th.

First that I’ve been optimistic in awhile. Darvish has seemed to have resolved his control issues. Hamels is back. Kimbrel is our closer. If middle relief can get it done, it is looking good. Agree. Here is a couple stats that I hope continue. Since the beginning of July, Darvish has 44 strikeouts ...

The Cubs are the only team in baseball to hold a lead in all their games since the all-star break but they're just 9-7 in those contests.

Rizzo makes it 4 - 3 with a grand slam.

Disagree. Free cap space and get a better faceoff center. The Hawks have been shopping Anisimov for quite some time.

Back to back pitching gems by Darvish. NO WALKS. Cubs win!

The Cubs should win their division and may even win their first series. But I doubt they can win the NL pennant let alone the World Series.
