Ward was out, and you knew he was going to be out.

Still, worthwhile risk with a 4-run lead.

Low was Lazy to not put in PR for Ward

You have to take the good with the bad

Yet we know the Cards fans will rail on

about how their team is so “fundamentally sound” and thus more worthy than the Cubs.

But thanks anyway, for misplaying the foul pop before Soto’s HR, as well as that nice infield error to allow the 6th run.

Mark Grace, at the same age as Lee right now,

had a 331 BA with a 396 OBP, and that was on his decline.

I pray that Lee can be at least something resembling the brilliance that was Mark Grace of the Cubs.

I was surprised the Rays have no starters for the ASG

Best record in the MLB, and they don’t have one starting a position.

That's why the Rays are the real deal

no one’s having a career year (of their position players), yet they have the best record in MLB. They’re doing it with pitching, defense and timely hitting. They remind me of the 2006 Tigers.

Put in perspective:

4.5 games = biggest lead for Cubs, latest on June 27

And it will be 3.5 games after we win today.

Let me see if I have this straight...

1. The Cubs have the best record in the NL.
2. They’ve played more road games than home games.
3. One of their projected starters had a nuclear meltdown.
4. Their LF has been on the DL twice.
5. Their top set-up man was terrible the first 6 week.

And they might not be for real????
