Let's get this man in from third.

Rizzo K's at the wrong time. C'mon Javy.

Pirates are about to let the Brewers have their way yet again, of course.

But St Louis - facing a Dodgers rookie instead of any of their great starters - allowed 3 in the first and already trail 3-0.

Damn strange game.....this is the same team that lost 8-0 and looked completely dead in doing it. Now they are full of life and you're wondering how they ever lose a game. So weird.

At this point STL is the Cubs biggest competition honestly. I think?

IMOP, the Cub's only competition is themselves. They are better than the Brewers and I know they're better than the Cards. The team I kind of worry about is Cincy....they have the pitching and if they score some runs, they will be a load.

Earlier in the year, Cincy trailed pitt by about 6 or 7 games but had a far better run differential. I knew they'd catch the Pirates, but they are already 5.5 games ahead of them, after trailing by a few games at the break. Pirates are 15 under post All Star break.

Gotta expect the Brewers to take care of teams like the Pirates who seem to have completely gone off the boil even though they have some good players like Bell and Marte...as long as the Cubs continue to win games and the dodgers take care of business against the Cardinals it’s looking good :)

P.S there’s a really loud screeching ? outside my house and it’s annoying me lol...and it just went on top of my car....Noah’s Ark? Is a flood coming? Lol! 3:45am here...yay!!!!

At least the cubs are going to win! ?

Let's see if Cishek can get a couple outs here. He can't get strike three past this batter.

Cishek sucks.

Going to be a tough final five outs.

Joe ALWAYS has a set sequence in mind and takes out the reliever who pitches well.

Results NEVER matter.

Pre-determined matchups.

Wick was good and gets pulled. Cishek can't keep the ball in the park and stays in.

This "I picked the bullpen rotation ahead of time" shit is frustrating.

Why can managers never leave a guy in when he does well?
