Where in the world is Barryg? I thought he would be all over saying "I told you so".  :)

It is like you don't want to jinx them. Are these guys the real deal and not just a miracle year?

You know how many times I was waiting for this thread to pop back up....
I did not want to be the one to start it.

I feel bad for those Cubs fans. Their team is doing very good, they just happen to be in the best division. They're 4th in MLB, though 3rd in their division.

When mostly rookies and young players (Arrieta, Rizzo) are the leaders it's more of a long term thing.

If the rookies are the real deal hence my question.

I have not watched them this year. Are they like in second or third? How many games over .500?
Can't answer the most recent Q's, but they're in third and 19 games over .500. Third.

Don't they have like the forth best record in baseball? Is this a weak year?

Bryant time
Baez time, take 2... Btw, big series starting tomorrow. (Not that the Cubs are anywhere near the Cards, or the Nationals looking down, but) Pitts just took a series in St. Louis and if the Cubs can too it will show that the Cards aren't really built for the playoffs as much as they are for the reg. season...

They've been in the playoffs enough times to know how to play playoff baseball

Ended the reg. season 3rd in MLB and 3rd in division (97 wins). But, the more important part - the playoffs - 1 win and 11 to go!

Great game last night. Well played all around,
My only complaint though was not relying on the bullpen at all.
Arrieta is a beast, but to leave him in there when we will need him soon again is a bit risky.

And the Russel error to load the bases... Felt a bit like Deja Vu

Unless we see a rabbit pulled out of a hat it looks like only one start in the next series. Pitching complete games use to be a common thing and they need to get back to it.

Was wondering where you were. You put your faith in them from the beginning and you were right.

Only 113 pitches...
The Russell error was on a hard hit ball, and it was originally ruled a hit. He's good enough defensively to get over it.
If there's something to complain about it would be the offense besides for Fowler and Schwarber. The thing is that as good as the Cardinals, (Mets and Dodgers) are - 4 runs would likely win most games...

Gerrit Cole is a beast. There are only 2 pitchers remaining in the playoffs that are on his level and the Cubs won't need to face them yet.

At work they are all complaining the Russell's hitting and fielding has tailed off this last month and they should make a switch. What does the great BarryG say?  :)
