Mark, Isn't it amazing how the Cubs keep winning these one run games? I guess this is just what good teams do.

They're 13-16 in one-run games...

navamind, I realize they are 13-16 overall but it sure does seem like they have been winning a lot of one run games lately, like about three of them in the past week.

Brock, OH YES, but please don't tell me how many one run games our Cardinals have won after the 7th inning because I'm still using words that I should not use to describe how I feel about the entire Cardinals bullpen with no member of that bullpen excluded.

your team just released a pitcher that was signed to a 1yr $14 million dollar deal. Those are the kinds of deals the Pirates routinly make. :L

Damn Brewers...they almost always do the opposite of what I think...going into the break they played Miami and Pitt, I'm thinking a good time to gain some momentum...then when they get to this part, Giants, Dodgers and D-Backs they have some room...nope, can't do that, got to get the Pirates white hot and crap themselves in Miami before that... why do I bother...why???

Right, except the Cardinals actually win stuff here and there, the Brewers suck you in and then shit the bed.

Just saw Winker's out for the rest of the season, that's a tough loss. He's showing a lot of potential at the plate too (.299/.405/.431 with 49/46 BB/K and a 126 OPS+) .

Cubs have a chance to get some room in the division race with the Brewers at the Dodgers. I don't think the Pirates are a push over, but they've cooled off since their sizzling start to July. We shall see how it shakes out

Moab, I hear what you are saying but the Cubs have some key players on the DL right now too. The Cubs series at the Pirates should tell us a lot as we get into August.

Right, they're going to be playing a lot of ball in Aug/Sept, and will get less days off than their competition. If they get their guys back it shouldn't be an issue, but that's still a lot of games in the last 60 days.

Cubs will still likely win the division and there's a real chance the Pirates miss the playoffs.

But these moves are also about 2019, 2020 and 2021 and right now this team is set up real nicely for then. And I like this new look Huntington who is willing to go hard for improvements.

Most of it is just good luck.

The Cubs are favored but nothing is certain.
