Cubs win!

What happened in the Bears game? I checked on it in the 3rd quarter and it was 9-7 Eagles. I just switched to it now and it's 22-7 Eagles.

What happened is the Bears blow.

It's not about keeping the Cardinals out of the playoffs, but rather about keeping Cardinals fans out of the playoffs.

Apparently it's a bullpen day for the Reds, so there's no reason why the Cubs shouldn't be able to score a dozen runs tonight

It was cool last night when the Cubs finally remembered that you have to score to win

You know, except for the fact that it's the Cubs against a pitcher with an ERA that's almost 5. So I fully expect the Cubs will strike out 15-17 times.

The real joke being that CarMart actually got oxygen yesterday after a combination of running the bases, high altitude in Colorado and (allegedly) swallowing some chew.

i remember mumbles and grumbles about the length of his contract when we first signed him. they're not invalid yet but he's already provided three years' worth of value in just shy of two

He's a legit Cy Young candidate this season so yeah I'd say so far he's been worth it. It'll be interesting to see how he pitches when Ross is gone. It seems like once or twice a game Lester completely loses his command and Ross has to go out to the mound and give him a pep talk, not sure if that's something Contreras will be able to do as effectively.

If the Rangers go deep in the playoffs, it will be despite its pitching staff being the most bi-polar set of hurlers I've seen in a while.
