[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

We pulled a Brewers on the Brewers today  . That is normally how they win games. 2-1 Cubs in 15 Innings with a walkoff, how do you like those apples BrewCrew? 

[NFLfan 7,957]

Mets win 4-1 over the lowly Marlins. They will try for the sweep tomorrow.

 

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Cubs win, Cubs win 4-1! Take 2 out of 3 vs the Brewers. Fly the flag Hozer. Cubs are now 2 games ahead of the Brewers in the NL Central and 3.5 ahead of the Cards and Pirates. MVP hit another HR tonight, Cubs train is rolling at 24-14 on the season. 

 

NL Central standings as of May 12th

Cubs 24-14

Brewers 24-18 (2 back)

Pirates 20-17 (3.5 back)

woo hoo. We are going to the Reds and Cubs game in Zinzinnati Tueaday. 10 rows behind the Reds dugout.  It is Bark in the Park night, where people can bring dogs to the game. I bet someone sets behind me with a sheepdog that will lick the back of my head all night. But th weather is supposed to be good..

That’ll be a good time, wish i could go, been wanting to go to a game in Cincinnati for a while. A lot to do within a short driving distance.

 

I wish i could take my dogs to a game, but they’re too socially awkward, lol, that would be a disaster!!! lol

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Cubs have the day off today and then start a 3 game series at Cincinnati tomorrow. Almost halfway through May, the Cubs are 2 games ahead of the Brewers and 3.5 ahead of the Cards and Pirates. I will take it after starting 2-7. Since starting 2-7, Cubs are 22-7 and sitting at 24-14. It was just a matter of time that Kris Bryant (aka MVP) would get his timing back and go on a tear. Lester and Hamels both are pitching like they are 27 again as well. A lot of Baseball to be played so we need to keep it up. The Cubs beat the Brewers yesterday without Rizzo even.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Brewers lost again. Mid May is here and the Cubs are possibly on the verge of building a little cushion in the NL Central going into June. The Brewers and Cards both have 5 more losses already. Long way to go but so far so good.

 

NL Central standings as of May 14th

Cubs 24-14

Brewers 24-19 (2.5 back)

Cards 22-19 (3.5 back)

Pirates 20-18 (4 back)

Reds 18-23 (7.5 back)

Cubs win again 3-1 over the Reds to improve to 25-14. They are now 11 games above .500. 25-14 is the best record in the NL.

Welp....now we know why Zobrist took a leave of absence. You just never know what’s going on with folks. Really sucks to hear this, going through a divorce is never easy. Hope they keep their 3 kids best interest in mind throughout the process. I wish them all well.

Cubs let one get away tonight, lost in 10 Innings to the Reds. A rare loss as they had won 13 of 15 games coming into tonight. That is what happens when you let a team like the Reds hang around that has a dangerous lineup. Cubs are still 10 games above .500 at 25-15 and in 1st place by 1.5 over the Brewers and still 3.5 over the Cards. 

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

40 games are in the books for the Cubs meaning 25% of the season is over already. The next 41 games and we will be 50% complete at 81 games. So far through the 1st Qtr of the season I give the Cubs an A- . Very close to a solid A but the slow start was bothersome when they started 3-8. Having said that since starting 3-8 Cubs are 22-7 and in 1st place by 1.5 games over the Brewers in the NL Central. They now have the 2nd best record in the NL behind the Dodgers.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Top of the 5th, Cubs lead 2-0 over Reds. Cubs looking to take the rubber match.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Well crap, Reds now up 3-2 after 5. Rain delay on top of it!

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Game will resume in 25 minutes. I am watching Beer Money right now lol.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Disappointing series, Cubs lose 2 of 3 to the Reds. Still in 1st place in the NL Central though at 25-16. The Reds bullpen pitched lights out tonight, not much else to say. 

[HOZER 3,698]

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Cubs take care of the Nats 14-6, MVP hit 3 HR's! Fly the flag Hozer. The NL Central Standings look like this as of May 18th:

Cubs 26-16

Brewers 27-20 (1.5 back)

Pirates 22-20 (4 back)

Cards 23-22 (4.5 back)

Reds 20-25 (7.5 back)

-Cubs looking solid so far this season, Brewers are hanging close, Cards after starting 20-10 are now struggling a bit. Long way to go though.

Yeah Bryant is on a better pace this season than his MVP season in 2016. Great stuff.

[PuntersArePeopleToo 806]

Finally finished with my Undergrad Degree so may be around a bit more. Except the next few days as I head to Toronto in the morning, will give review of the stadium, will be there Monday Blue Jays vs Red Sox on LF line

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Cubs lost but so did the Brewers so no harm done. Cubs still maintain a 1.5 game lead over the Brewers in the NL Central, 3 over the Pirates, and 3.5 over the Cards. If we can have the lead in the division going into June which is a huge month I will take it. After starting the season 2-7 I wasn't sure how May would end up. Still don't.

Congratulations! Time flies. It seems that you had just told us 2 years ago that you were a senior in high school. I can't believe 4 years have already passed. All the best in your professional (and personal) life.

Rizzo with a HR, Chicago up 3-0 on Sunday Night Baseball.

Being swept by the lowly Marlins and getting shut out this weekend. That's embarrassing. Mets fans are ready to ship Chili Davis out.

Cubs 4-0 through 4 innings. Professor still with a no hitter. Cubs look so awesome, after sucking for so many seasons, these last 5 seasons I feel spoiled now. 2016 Championship and 5 straight playoff appearances is coming if health holds up.

You and Hozer both said that. I think you or Hozer told me that the Mets were in big trouble when they hired Davis. Mets fans are fed up. I read that he had been fired at 2-3 jobs already.

Yeah I wanted him gone and so did Hozer. All Cubs fans disliked him. Our hitting took a dip with him at the helm.

To the top of the 6th, the Professor is human as he gave up a run. 4-1 Chicago.

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

Here are my favorite pitchers . . I would pay money to watch those 2 guys pitch. 

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

6-1 Chicago, MVP delivers again. 

[2006Coltsbestever 21,144]

El Mago out, ankle injury but doesn't look serious. Up 6-1, go rest magic man we got this!
