[hermes]

cubs back on top, lets hope wood can hold serve (and the defense gets its act together)

[hermes]

wood helping out his own cause and then turns around and gives up a homer

[hermes]

valbuena!

[hermes]

woo, cubs hold on and beat those dang cards

Beating the dirty birds is always a good thing, but it is even better when it hurts their playoff positioning after the all-star break.

[hermes]

its cool that we can play spoiler to the rest of the entire division - its crazy that they are all still in it

[hermes]

not a bad start for arrieta but the bullpen imploded today

[hermes]

pretty good start for hendricks but no offense today

[karch34]

Good news is even though teams are seeing him for the first time, Hendricks doesn't appear phased by being in the majors. Alcantra has tailed off after a hot start, but that's to be expected.

[hermes]

yeah, from everything i've read hendricks is a guy who needs to become familiar with the batters so it could be a bumpy start but he seems to be handling things very well so that is encouraging

nice to get any good pitching we can get at this point
