I love how salty the Nationals are after they got swept in a 4-gamer. Calling the Cubs "scared" for walking Bryce Harper. Oh well Nats, check the scoreboard. That was smart.

holy smokes this team is good

baez is a great super utility player, great defense can play anywhere and he can hit pretty well too

read an article that said baez is probably better on defense than our regular starters at three of the infield positions (probably 2nd, short, and 3rd). think that's about right?

first losing streak of the season

While losing a double header to the Padres is a little sad, I think it could be a good thing. There was a stretch last year around this time we didn't play well against some very beatable teams and it seemed to get the team focused. Plus a little adversity (and I know losing 2 in a row hardly qualifies) is probably a good thing too.

I think the Cubs are okay (yes, this is in jest)

Who's going to get to 100 home runs first?

David Ross(99) or Jason Heyward(98) ?

Shane Victorino was released today. No "Flyin' Hawaiian Era" for the Cubs

addison almost quietly has 30 rbi already

lots opportunities for him with all those guys ahead of him being on base all the time

we probably should acknowledge how good zobrist has been this year, isn't it like a career year for him so far?

he's been outstanding

fantastic work by the bullpen today in a tough situation, especially wood

hermes · Post #58 » by **hermes** » Thu Jun 2, 2016 10:25 pm

homers by everyone today

karch34 · Post #59 » by **karch34** » Thu Jun 2, 2016 11:38 pm

Great win. And yes Zobrist has been amazing.

hermes · Post #60 » by **hermes** » Fri Jun 3, 2016 10:23 pm

baez has been great lately too
