Man, Desi just crushed that ball!

Thanks for showing up, Cubs.

It's good to play the Cubs.

Especially for a four game series.

It doesn't help that the Cubs have only been sending one actual MLB starting pitcher to the mound for the last five weeks along with one fringe guy (Wood) and a lot of dreck. So you expect the team to be pretty terrible.

But boy howdy, it has been even uglier than I could have imagined since the trade deadline.

Love ya LaRoche!!

I wonder how many innings we have left until Joe Mather toes the rubber.

Yeah, the Natties brought out their whoopin' sticks here tonight.

Tyler Moore should brace his ribs the next time he comes to the plate.

Something truly wonderful is on the verge of happening in the American League East right now. Cross your fingers.

Maybe they SHOULD bring in Mather.

And Eso, right there with you. It's pretty cool.

Assuming the scores hold up, this could be one of those rare days where literally everything goes right with the baseball world: Nats win, Braves lose, Pittsburgh wins, Orioles win, Yanks lose.

Only thing that would make it better would be for the Mariners to trounce the Red Sox 21-1 and the Athletics to finally lose a friggin' game.

Another Curly W!! And with the Braves losing our magic numbers are down to 17 for the wild card and 20 for the division!!!
