St. Louis - you're next.
Eff the Redbirds!

Man, if we can sweep the 4-game series against these a-holes it would damn near end their season.
During the 9-game winning streak, the Cubs have held opponents to 2 or less runs 7 times (and 1 or less five times).
Coghlan tries to call time.
Doesn't get it.
Singles to right and drives in two runs.
I've watched a lot of baseball in my life but I've never seen anything like that before.
How Coghlan even made contact is beyond me.

That was great as was Rossy's RBI bunt single to take the lead. Not so great was Travis Wood giving it right back in the next inning.
A 3 pitch inning for Chapman??????
Chapman: three pitches, three outs.
Baez with two nice plays.

Walk off walk for Rizzo! That's 10 in a row and a cool 13 game lead.
Fun game to watch last night. The Cards getting screwed on that ball four call made it much sweeter. Coghlan was clutch last night as well.
5 HR's today (through 7).
Chicks Dig the Long Ball.

13-2 final. 11 game winning streak and a 14 game lead!
The winning steak is over.
Welcome back, Hector Rondon.
If the Cubs play .500 for the rest of the season, they would finish with a record of 96-66.The Cardinals would need to finish 34-10 (.773) to catch the Cubs. The Pirates would need to finish 37-10 (.787) to catch the Cubs.

Wow. Id say this division is in good shape.
And for the betting types. I'm heading to wrigley Wednesday. Do NOT bet on the Cubs.

Cubs fire Wrigley Field DJ for playing inappropriate song
quote:Good for the DJ.
The Cubs fired the Wrigley Field DJ who played an inappropriate song after Aroldis Chapman's appearance during Sunday night's game.
The '90s song, "Smack My B---- Up" by the English band the Prodigy, came on the PA system after Chapman left the mound in the top of the ninth inning.
Chapman served a 30-game suspension with the Yankees this year after an alleged domestic-violence incident in which Chapman was accused of choking his girlfriend and firing eight bullets in his garage. Chapman was not arrested and no charges were filed.
Cubs President Crane Kenney apologized Monday in a statement for the "irresponsible music selection" during the game against the Cardinals.

Rizzo just made the best catch ever near the stands.
Dammit, Travis Wood. One out away from a doubleheader shutout and he gives up a HR and now a single. The Brewers had six hits total on the day before the HR.
quote:
"I got a good dismount, could've stuck the landing a little better, but I'm pleased with it," Rizzo said of his play in the fifth inning.
quote:
What was Cubs manager Joe Maddon thinking as he watched Rizzo's feat?
"Just that he would stick the landing,' Maddon said. "I was hoping for at least a 9.5 from the Luxembourg judge.

Jorge Soler is facing murder charges on that ball he just hit. Nothing like a five spot in the first inning with Lester on the bump.
That was a thing of beauty.

Finally
Anyone have any Rockies ticket connections? Will be in Denver Friday night.

Lackey and Rondon to the DL. Zastryzny and Pena called up.
Second Half Hammel finally showed up in a big way... although there were several key defensive miscues that played a significant role in that first inning meltdown
who is going to cubs/stros?
