Funny story about the game… I went camping the weekend before and went to wrigley straight from their… had 6 tickets with me for me and some friends… turned out I brought the wrong tix, I brought the ones for Aug 24th vs nationals
Mordecai will be here around June 9th.
I’ll probably start sleeping by the mailbox on the 5th in anticipation.

looked like he just took a normal step to 1st
WAY LESS of a balk than the normal LH pickoff move where they step midway between 1st and home. that never gets called even though the rule says IIRC that you have to step TO the base
Before Edmonds: 24-16, (.600); With Edmonds: 14-5 (.737), DRS: 1
Isn't he also batting a Robust .220?

If we only take
three of four, it’s not exactly a streak. But it’s over .500 baseball on the road, which is what we’re looking for, and it’s another series win, which we’re looking for. I don’t care if our 100 wins are all two in a row, lose one, win three, lose one, win five, lose two. The streak is nice. The post-season is required.

I hate the term “vintage Maddux,” but that’s exactly what the Cubs saw. That might be the best game I’ve seen him pitch in a long time. It also was “vintage Hoffman” in the ninth.
Lilly pitched a great game and did exactly what was asked—a nice, long outing.
