The Cubs go for the sweep and hopefully gain some ground on the Brewers, who are losing 3-2 in the ninth in San Diego as I write this. The Cubs doubleheader sweep last night was their first since 2003 over the Pirates (I'm sure you remember the day) and first road sweep since 1992 over the Cardinals.

It'll be Lilly for the Cubs, the proud owner of a 2.53 ERA on the road this season. For the Braves, it's the return of Tom Glavine off the disabled list, his first start since facing the Cubs in early June.

Mark Cotsay player of the game on Cubs broadcast. ~tip cap~

just watched the video of Lilly's hbp against Escobar. Awesome timing. Top of 7th, no outs 11-4 lead. Last game vs Braves this year and the multi-year vendetta gets the last word in (until next year) ...of course that lead to our St Bernard coming into the game...so there's always consequences, but all's well that ends well. Maybe Ted can get one of his Toronto buddies to buzz Renteria when they play the Tigers...or at least leave a horse'shead in his bed. Now we know his second middle name. Theodore Roosevelt Corleone Lilly.

back up with the A's replacing Ryan Sweeney, out with a bumb thumb. Murton's actually looked better than EPatt lately but who cares? right?

Little off-topic, but of all the sports broadcasters, I vote for Gammons as "most likely to be a coke addict". Just IMO... FWIW.

From the Gammons article:
Earlier this season, Soto struck out eight straight times in Washington, but on the bus to the airport he was joking around when a teammate reminded him of his strikeouts. "Hey, we won the series, the pitchers were great, and today we had a shutout," Soto shot back. "What's better than that?" "That," says Ryan Dempster, "was not lost on the pitchers."
It was always a good story, but it has improved with time. I'm pretty sure we lost two out of three to the Nats, including the game right before the busride.

glavine back to the DL after a little elbow soreness from airing out all those 82-84mph fastballs and low/mid 70s junkballs. carpenter (STL) back to the DL, too.

pretty realistic view of the situation. amazing enough they're competing, but what's new for them. almost yearly the ownership/gm/whatever shortchange the team...they scrap together some sprare parts...and along with a weird pipeline of rookies that can hit homers no one saw coming they manage to win a lot more than expected. they still got a pretty legit shot at the WC even if it seems like MIL/CHC don't want to go into a death spiral right now. cubs/mil had that weird week where the cubs/mil were tied for 1st with STL a few games back...a week later they're 5 games leading with mil/stl tied for 2nd.

    Maybe Brewer

    He'd be able to leave the Cubs. He's out of options. That would open up a 40man spot.

    I don't think Jed would do that.

  • crunch (view)

    brewer has done nothing to keep him on the big league roster...imagine that's 1 guy gone.

    yeah, it's only 2 appearances, but they were both unimpressive.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Yeah it is.....sorry......closers don't throw 89mph

    It would be unique for sure.

    But CP can't be HR susceptible

    That's what Alzolay has right now and that's what Kyle has no matter the situation.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Supposedly Happ said on a radio show he's good to go

    I hadn't read that anywhere from the usual accounts, so this could be off.

    If true, Canario goes down.

  • TarzanJoeWallis (view)

    Hmmm. Maybe my idea of transitioning Hendricks into a closer role isn’t so crazy.

  • Childersb3 (view)

    Mervis and Wesneski getting promoted aaccording to Tommy Birch from Des Moines Register.

    So Happ to the IL

    Maybe Hendricks to IL ????

    Mervis/Cooper are DH platoon

    Wisdom, Canario, Tauchman share LF/RF

    I wonder if Busch has ever played LF?

    I don't believe he has

    “I respect his track record of what he’s accomplished,” Counsell said on Sunday morning. “And you go through these. He’s gone through -- maybe not this particular stretch -- but stretches where you’re not pitching the way you want to and struggling. And you figure it out.” -- Counsell on Hendricks

    fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...

    i respect his track record of no longer being in the rotation.  in 2016 he threw 2 innings out of the pen, his only work out of the pen.  the cubs won the world series that year.  let's repeat that magic.  the formula is obvious.  stats don't lie.  etc etc whatever...

    small sample size and all, but how about this craziness...

    "Entering Sunday, Hendricks had allowed an .843 OPS against hitters in their initial plate appearance, followed by a 1.056 OPS in a second meeting and a 2.449 OPS when seeing batters for a third time."

    Phil: Great to see what Rosario is doing!

    Do you think having Rosario may have influenced/impacted the front office's decision on including Hope in the trade for Busch at all?

  • crunch (view)

    it's so crazy we got a new "barnstorming" harlem globetrotters-type baseball product that was introduced less than 5 years ago and is wildly popular all over the nation.

    a notion left long in the past, unearthed, polished for modern audiences and popular as ever.

  • Arizona Phil (view)

    No question right now Alfonsin Rosario is one of the Cubs Top 20 prospects (probably Top 15). Rosario is to the Cubs what Zyhir Hope is to the Dodgers.
