Will someone please explain to the Cubs that it is acceptable to score multiple runs. FIVE straight games with only scoring 1 run.

Daniel Murphy is a surprise addition. That could be huge in the playoffs, especially if they end up with games involving the DH.

Nice to see Hendricks with a good start and no HRs given up. The team has been rolling since adding Murphy.

Still up four games, but they need to win the next series against them.

This series with the Brewers is big. They really need to win it. A sweep almost clinch the division. Losing the series, or worse getting swept, would make it a likely fight to the finish. Am I the only rooting against the Dodgers? They are really the one team I don't want to face in the playoffs.

This was as close to a must win as you can get with 20ish to go and the Cubs won! They go for the series win tomorrow in another big game.
