Castro sends Nats fans to the exits.

No clue on the thanks button. I guess it is trying to limit my awesomeness, but yes as Ozzie Guillen said winning is fun.

 

[chibears55]

How about that Cubs offense

 

[Mr. Cub]

Hell yes, Castro!! Beastmode!

 

[SilenceS]

Castro with a nice catch! Thats a tough ass play

 

[chibears55]

Not a bad catch by a SS with no range.. ; )))

 

[SilenceS]

Cubs win! Castro said **** the rest of the defense. Ill take everything myself

 

[dabynsky]

Cubs are eight under in July just like they managed before the break last year. Positive run differential on the year at this point.

I know this team isnt going anywhere this year, but totally different demeanor of this team this year. I think Renteria actually has them believing. ****, they may have me gaining a little hope. Theo said the other day if they make a run. They will look to add rather then sell. Lets see if that happens.

 

[chibears55]

Look out NL the Cubs are clawing back.. 7 back for WC spot

 

[Mr. Cub]

Castro sucks. Let's trade him for a bag of balls.

The quote was if they win 15 in a row they would add. It would take a 8 or 9 game win stretch here before break to really change anything. And as a reminder last year this team was eight games under like now before the break after a little winning streak.

Ehhh.. they have alot that needs to be added via trades and I don't see them trading much from the farm to get veteran help

if anything, id hope it would mean bringing up players like baez, bryant, Alcantara that could help them offensively now over Sweeney, Barney, etc.

I know that. But, you dont get a different vibe from the players? Im just trying to look at the brightside. I just want us to be half way relevant come August.

Also, I heard it was 10 game win streak but either are highly unlikely.
