    Good win last night, especially while starting Montgomery. Great pitching by Edwards Jr.

    Great job by the entire bullpen last night! Zastryzny, Smith, & Edwards combined 5 innings, no hits, 5 K on a whopping total of 53 pitches!!

    Bryant
    Rizzo
    Arietta
    Lester
    Fowler

    And Addison Russell could very well be the MVP of this Cubs team.

    He's been nothing short of spectacular defensively. And 19 homers are a plus. But rizzo, bryant, arrieta, Hendricks, are all ahead of Addy in the team mvp category.

    7h7 hours ago Anthony Rizzo ‏@ARizzo44 8 years ago TODAY I was told I was in remission. I remember crying and hugging my family thinking how lucky we were.

    Way to go rizzo!

    Being good makes it easy to root for this team, but with the exception of Chapman and Lastella these are great people.

    Yeah, I get the feeling these guys truly know how much it means to us Cubs fans if they win it all. They're not just playing for themselves.

    Rizzo made a bone head play. No excuse for it. But I don't mind seeing the aggressiveness. But damn, you have to realize going to 3rd on that play is not really an option.

    Plus, I've given Javier Baez a ton of shit this year. But God damn, that was one hell of a player he made to score that run. Excellent, heads up play.

    Another nice outing by Kyle yesterday. It'd be great to wrap up the division against STL.

    Kyle is increasingly looking like Greg Maddux. Even his mannerisms on the mound - not to mention the movement on the changeup. He spotting it very well. If he can make that like clock work, he's going to be a real force for a long time.

    Yeah, no kidding. I really thought this year was a turning point for him. Instead, the first half turned to the second half - and he's become Hammel again. I swear, he was ticked about missing the Wrigley shows, and has been in the tank since. That pre Wrigley Colorado game was case in point
