Team is white hot....it's not just Lester, they've been doing this to everyone ever since Anderson got back.....hmmm, a good leadoff man. What a novel concept, right Theo? The thing is the Cubs can never get this hot only because of complete lack of discipline at the plate.....they just can't stop swinging at balls in the dirt and 6 inches outside. I mean a large portion of the time, they get themselves out. We saw this the last few seasons....still seeing it now. This team's downfall continues to be at the plate and not on the mound regardless of whats happening tonight.

Cubs lineup seems so weak. If Bryant were in lineup tonight you would have 3 guys hittingin the 100's. As it is...you have Happ hovering a bit above .300 then...Heyward of all people with a decent average then...it plummets from there. I know average isn't the end all be all...but it still matters. Even Bote is around .206. Hoerner just above .200 Almora the low 100's...Baez around .177 and is 2 for his last 33. Schwarber .221. Rizzo .225. Contreras only .219... But hey... they hit alot of homeruns? No...no they don't. Somehow they've managed to be in 1st place with what looks like an incredibly weak lineup. Oh..and they lead the majors in strike outs.

Hate to say this but the Sox lineup is absolutely lethal....and they're saying this isn't even THE year. Next year is. Awesome. 6 home runs now. The baton has been passed.

Correction: Cubs do NOT lead the league in strikeouts. They are tied for 2nd most...behind the A's. I will say strikeouts are overrated...

Javy now 2 for his last 35. No emotion...no shrug. I know he cares but he just looks lost like he doesn't wanna be there.

Difference between Sox and Cubs is they get those cookies across the plate and mash 'em. Cubs whiff or let just let em go....and here we go again w Luis Robert. Man..they should change this to the Crosstown Bloodbath.
