Yep, still in 1st place by %points in the NL Central over the Brewers. Try for a sweep of the Cards Sunday night. As of now we are 36-27, Brewers are 37-28.

I like that one.

The Mets are playing my brand of baseball this afternoon. They are getting good pitching, good defense, guys are getting on base, stealing bases, moving guys along, and getting runs across the plate. I love that brand of baseball. We had a HR too but that is least important .

 

Thor has pitched 6 innings so far -- only 88 pitches. He has given up no runs and just 1 hit. 

 

Mets lead 6-0. Let's get the win, Mets.

[NFLfan 8,227]

 

The Mets win 6-1 over the Rockies who came in playing very well. The Mets take 2 out of 3. The best thing about this game is that the Mets played good fundamentally sound baseball for all 9 innings. 

 

Good game to watch. Enjoy your baseball today, folks.

Cubs playing like the Mets did today. Love NL-style baseball.

So far so good. Cubs up 3-1, a sweep would be huge here. Brewers won today so it would be nice to keep pace and stay in 1st in the NL Central. Cards would be 6 games back if they lose. 

[2006Coltsbestever 24,448]

The Professor is in a zone tonight, chewing the Cards up now. 3-1 Cubs to the bottom of the 7th.

[2006Coltsbestever 24,448]

4-1 now Schwarber is on fire.

[2006Coltsbestever 24,448]

Gonzo just went deep. 5-1 Cubs.

[2006Coltsbestever 24,448]

Cubs win! Sweep of the Cards . Fly the flag Hozer. Official standings heading into June 10th in the NL Central from the big 3 are:

 

Cubs 37-27 .578%

Brewers 38-28 .576%

Cards 31-32 (5.5 back)

Cubs/Cards exchanging sweeps this season, lol!

Yeah neither team can win on the other field. In the 9 games they have played, the home team has won every time. So far 6-3 Cubs.

Thoughts and prayers go out to David Ortiz who was shot yesterday in his native Dominican Republic. It sounds like he sustained damage to some organs but may live. Hoping the best for Big Papi's recovery.

Yeah from the sounds of it he is lucky to be alive. Hoping for the best for him on his recovery.

Cubs are already up 4-2 in the 3rd over the Rockies. 3 HR's so far, 1 by Schwarber, 1 by Rizzo, and 1 by Bote. Yu is pitching though

It’s a shame when a guy can’t go back home and enjoy life without some punks taking shots at him. Sad. Hope for a speedy recovery for him!

Right. He has done so much for his country. He is a legend there. I'm happy to hear that he is expected to make a full recovery.

Utter shock. That was no robbery, that was a hit, and they better get to the bottom of it. Thank god no amount of evil or hate can overcome a heart that big. You got this @davidortiz, we love you bro!

I just read he’s on a plane bound for Boston hospital, in critical condition but good enough to fly. Can’t imagine any other reason that someone would put a hit on him other then pure jealousy.

I read that too. I think he might already be in a Boston area hospital. I read that he is expected to make a full recovery. Let's hope for that. He seems like a good person.

Because some people are just that evil and jealous. The guy that shot him may have been offered a lot of money to do so as well. Some will do anything for money. Not saying that is the case here but who knows?

Cubs lost a tough one tonight 6-5 to the Rockies. Once again shaky pitching.

[HOZER 4,107]

Other then the Heyward Homerun, Cubs bats going silent. And I hate Daniel Murphy again. Why is he always such a thorn in the Cubs side? Ugh.

Yeah here lately road wins have been hard to come by. At least the Brewers are losing big to the Astros 10-5 right now. We are a different team at home that is for sure.

[2006Coltsbestever 24,448]

Yeah we can flush this one down the toilet. 9-1 Rockies now. Just one of those nights.

Chatwood....not impressed.

Mets fans say the same. Since leaving the Mets, he has killed them. It seems like he is batting 1000 against the Mets. Lol.

Big win today by the Cubs 10-1 over the Rockies. As of now we are tied for 1st place in the NL Central at 38-29 with the Brewers. Last I looked the Brewers were losing 3-2 to the Astros in the 5th inning. Hamels looked great today.

[2006Coltsbestever 24,448]

Per ESPN, the suspect in the Big Papi shooting was offered a measily $7800 dollars to do the hit. That is pathetic. Last I heard Big Papi was recovering well

The GDP per Capital was/is 7,053.26 US Dollars in 2017 and the GNI was 15,290 PPP so not to bad in the DR in other words about 35,000 in the US since the US GNI is 60,200

Cubs up 2-0 over the powerful Dodgers in the 1st inning. Kershaw shaky early. Hopefully Lester has his great stuff tonight.

Welp, it was a good start at least....until Lester crumbled.

Yep. We were up 3-0, gave Jonny a cushion but it did not matter. Down 6-3 now. Dodgers are going to be hard to beat all season.
