Idk how these guys are playing this good with all the pitching injuries they've had to fight through. Keep it rolling.

Sox Brooke fletcher vs cubs Taylor McGregor...sideline eye candy face-off coming soon at wrigley.

Brooke - girl next door cute.
Taylor- North shore classic beauty

Home field edge to McGregor.

Of course, why not both? Is always a nice option.

Cabrera, Milner, and Palencia all threw for the I-Cubs on Wednesday. Cabrera threw 55 pitches and looked good. I suspect he'll make one more rehab start. Milner is probably gtg. I suspect he will be activated for the KC series. Palencia is going to need some time given that he hasn't pitched in 2 months. Ben Brown is a real wildcard. if he can come back this season as a guy out of the pen that would be a huge deal. As it is, pushing Rea and Assad to the pen with the addition of Holmes and Gausman makes the pen better. I wonder out loud as to if Thielbar's time as a Cub is over? He's been awful.

So we get the all-star game starter, and MIL gets … PIT and we … win!?

Cubs win in extras after a moronic send by Berry. Carson Kelly runs like he's pulling a plow behind him, and you send him on a shallow hit to CF where the defender can make a throw with his momentum behind him? Woof.
Thank goodness PCA forced some action.

Team of density.

Yeah that was worse than waving Wendell Kim back in the day, but luckily PCA made it not matter. Been a damn fun week of baseball! Our 4 game win streak got us exactly 1 game closer to the damn Brewers...Feels like we're going to need to beat them ourselves to catch em

Play the damn song!

 

[lucas80]

Gausman was clutch. Glad he didn't shatter a bone on his leg on that rocket back up the middle. That would have been the most Cubs thing ever.

 

[lucas80]

The Cubs finished off the Royals today 10-2 behind 7 strong innings from Matthew Boyd, and went 12-5 in a stretch of 17 games in 17 days.

Winning 2 of 3 on the road, even against a crap team, is fine.
What isn't fine is the Brewers. It's inexplicable how they win. Their shortstop went on the IL today. The 3b got hurt yesterday. Their top 100 prospect in AAA got hurt too. What do they do? Oh, let's stick Andrew frickin Vaughn at 3b. Let's sign a dude off the Mets AAA team for depth. They'll each get hits. We'll fiddle **** around all day long, let the Twins have 10 baserunners the last 3 innings but never score. Then we can walk it off even though we in no way deserve to win.

I doubt the Cubs can catch the Brewers, but, we'll see. At this point starting the playoffs with a home series would be a good thing.

Brewers have a 7 game west coast trip this week - 3 w Padres, 4 w Dodgers. And they're lineup is beat up. Good chance to knock some games off their lead.

They also play the Mariners and Braves albeit at home. After that the Cubs and Brewers wrap up their season series with 7 games between the 1st and 9th of September. I'd like to think the Cubs will be at the top of the Central (or closer to 1st) when the play Milwaukee.

 

[MuscoHawk]

Cubs have been playing great baseball since the break.

And have lost .5 games on the Brewers.

Those 7 games with the Brewers are going to be intense.
