If you told me that you were not worried heading into New York after the way we played in Wrigley vs the Nationals, facing the guys we were going to face, on the road where we’ve sucked all year, I’d call you a liar. Heck yes I was worried.
I did take a quick peek at these Mets, one of the hottest teams coming in. They were actually coming off getting swept themselves at home too, against the Bravos. But before that… they had swept the Indians, which was probably the most impressive notch on their belt. Yes, since July 25th, they did have a stretch where they went 15-1. Looking a little closer at those wins, made me start to feel a bit better. 5 wins against the Pirates, 3 against the Sox, 4 against the Marlins… not exactly powerhouses they were beating there. Still, their starting pitching… we’d face 2 of their best in this series. We served Thor his worst performance of his career, and we had deGrom’s kryptonite in this one, none other than Victor Caratini.
He certainly wasn’t going oppo in this one. He yanked 2 bombs in this one, including one of the 3 run variety which was the difference. Lester pitched tough, the bullpen was good… it was a nice way to top off a very nice series in Queens. The Cubs certainly flipped the script on us this series. For all the panic heading on the road after the Nats handled us… I’m glad it was all for nothing. We took care of business, and now, return back home where we need to get back to doing what we do in Wrigley. You know that place will be rocking this weekend. The Cubs sit 1.5 games behind the Cards, and 4 games up on the Brewers, who we’ll face this weekend, when the calendar will turn to September. Are you ready?

Defensively he’s great; offensively, no slouch. He’d be starting on more than half the teams in the majors. Only problem here is we have Willson, who by the way will be back for the weekend series. You have to think something has to give there, regardless of what happens this season. But not now… not now. If Rizzo is still out, Contreras behind the plate and Caratini at 1B works. The Cubs are finally showing some of their depth. Yeah, we’re still scoring loads of our runs via the long ball, but if we remember about going oppo in our ABs, we’ll score other ways too. I’ve seen us do it, just not consistently. What a difference a series makes.
Yeah, feeling good… very positive after this sweep. Ready to put a nail in the Brewers this weekend, and close on the Cardinals, who have the Reds… how about stepping up Cincy? You did it against us… let’s see you at least split that 4 game series this weekend with the Red Birds. Ready to start the weekend. Ready to start September. Go Cubs!
