    Cubs have 4 games against the Reds starting tonight (and 7 in the next ten days) and really need to take advantage of the Cards heading to Fenway. Milwaukee still in the picture too, but they've got a brutal west coast swing coming up.

      Adrian Gonzalez is coming off the DL this week. He's no longer going to be an everyday player obviously, but he'll be good to have around as a mentor. I feel bad for the guy. Back issues are no joke and he's been dealing with this for a few years now. Curious to see what roster move we make to activate him.

        We need Addy back. Miss how automatic he is over at SS. Javy feast or famine there lately with some throwing yips.

          Stop me if you've heard this before...Stanton has homered.

          43 total and 22 in his past 34 games. Sick

            Nearly hit two. Came up about 2 feet short on his 2nd AB

              Cubs offense is very confusing.

              Get runners on 2nd and 3rd 0 out, can't score.

              Next inning they get 3 straight 2 out hits and have scored 4.

              And now Rizzo goes back to back after Bryant.

                Runner on 3rd one out, let's all swing at the first pitch and pop out. That's why you are one of the worst teams in the league, barves.

                  I realize we have 10,000 pitchers on the DL, by why the **** is Gallardo still employed?

                    I'm not sure what Swanson brings to the team at this point...he's just totally lost right now.

                      Didn't realize Joey Gallo has 33 HR's.

                        My favorite part of this laugher against the Reds (Wojciechowski was terrible) was their TV booth not quite knowing what to make of the Cubs' bullpen dance party.

                        EDIT: Scooter Gennett on the mound for the Reds. Throwing motion like Walter Johnson. And Baez just took him deep.

                          I was so excited for him going into ST too. He has a LOT to work on in the off-season...

                          It's hard though...especially when I got my neighbor playing their franchise across the street...maybe I will occupy myself with Glamore Magazine.

                            Rhys Hoskins hit his first big league homer last night for the Phillies. Then proceeded to get his second in the same game. Very nice.

                              Jays-Cubs coming up this weekend from Wrigley. The 2016WS matchup that I was hoping for.

                              Sucks this game really doesn't mean awhole lot for the Jays(their GB might not be big in the WC, but amount of teams infront of them will kill those chances of playoffs). Would've been nice to play a meaningful game at Wrigley for the first time.
