I talked to my Reds fan at the start of the series. I told him do not resist this weekend in Wrigley. He must have relayed that message. The Cubs finished off the sweep on a sweltering summer day in Chicago.
It was a little payback. After all, this last place team swept us in Cincy; what a joke that was. We paid it back to them this weekend in spades. We have three more games vs them in Wrigley to go; another sweep?
The Cubs have now won five in a row; they’re 5-1 in the first 6 games of 23 games in 23 days. We need to keep winning, period. The two teams behind us are still playing well, although we did gain 1.5 games over both of them thanks to this sweep. It was a fun series; winning always is. All the runs we scored make me forget about that dreadful 5 game stretch where we scored only one run. Let’s hope we can keep it up.
That guy Bote was in the middle of things again, with an RBI single and his 6th home run. Schwarby went deep too. But it was Hendricks who was the big story in this one. 7 shutout innings was great to see. There was a graphic that showed Kyle has the best winning percentage in August of all time; did I read that right? I do know he’s been a lot better lately; it’s really just what we needed. Hamels being lock down and now Hendricks pitching like 2016 Hendricks. Yes, are you still worried about the starters? Quick shoutout to Alec Mills who will be making another start this week.

Good news about Bryant; heading out to Iowa for assignment. As if this Cubs lineup isn’t potent enough. How good has Murphy been? He’s perfect for the lead off spot. We are undefeated with him in the lineup. It feels good to have a little winning streak, even if it is against the Tigers and Reds.
At 76-53, the Cubs are at their high water mark for the year. 4 and 4.5 games up over the Cards and Brewers. After a day off the Cards will host the Pirates, while the Brewers head to Cincy. I did see another graphic showing that the Cubs have the hardest schedule of them all. Time to keep ramping up our game and get ready for another deep postseason run. Go Cubs!

Stand down cincy! Know your role and lose these games! The Cubs took care of business vs the reds and pushed them further into the nl central cellar. The pitching has been great recently. Everyone seems to be stepping it up for the postseason push. KB to Iowa for some rehab games…hell yes! The Cubs have destiny in their own hands as they hold the nl central lead. No big losing streaks, just winning series after series works. No matter how great the brew and red turds are playing, the Cubs can match it and take the NL. Hardest schedule remaining sounds challenging but will make the Cubs earn it and be ready for another postseason run to their 2nd World Series! I love the sound of that! GO CUBS GO!!!
