Welp, the stadium ate that ball up from Bryant. Missed another one by a foot.

Magic number is down to 25 with the win and the cards loss.

Baez, Bryant, Russell and Zobrist are Gods. Heyward and Pena suck balls.
We have 80 wins and no other team in MLB is even close. Now we need to get healthy and make sure every one is rested for October.

Please God let Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon get healthy soon. Cubs really need them. It's been 108 years.

My Dad just told me how Bryant never does anything after being down 0-2.
Never? No. Extremely rare? Darn right.

The AL has 10 teams over .500, the NL has 8. The bottom 3 teams in the AL are at .392, .419 and .416, the bottom 3 in the NL are .365, .413 and .432. The top 3 team records in the AL are .581, .579 and .568 in the NL the top 3 are .640, .584 and .560. Yes the AL has better competitive balance but you overstate your case.

Strop was throwing a week after surgery. It sure seems like he is pushing too hard.

Not really. The NL as I predicted has the halves and the have nots. When you count IL record which I also predicted it seems to fit my narrative pretty well. In fairness I also predicted that the power rankings would be dominated at the top by NL teams which it is.

Why would that seem like he's pushing too hard?
He's following doctor's advice. He's not treating himself.

Don't hurt your arm patting yourself on the back. Those predictions would have been much more impressive had everyone else not predicted the exact same thing. And let's not forget your offseason-long kvetching about projections showing the Cubs as the clear-cut best team in MLB, eh Nostradamus? On pace for 103-104 wins, they should comfortably outperform even those projections and blow by last year's win total.

There is healing that has to be done. He had a tear, so the surgery he probably opted for was going in with the scope and cutting the meniscus around the tear. The way it was explained to me when I was the patient, was sometimes its not easy to start to tear a piece of paper, but once its started, its easy to continue to tear. I chose not to have surgery since I was expecting stitches to put it back together, but it does not work that way.
Anyway, you want a russell westbrook over derrick rose surgery, and the repeat surgery because you came back too fast. Push for 4 might end up costing the rest of the season instead of accepting the 6.

No, not everyone predicted what I did. Seriously, check out the thread if you like.
I also had the Cubs with a higher win total this year than just about everyone on here. 98 wins.

I didn't say you were wrong, I said you overstated it. The NL is probably a little more competitive than you had thought and the AL just a tad less competitive.
