He's really, really great. I'm a Cubs hater and I love the guy.

He pitches for the second best team in baseball IMO right behind that other Chicago team.

In my opinion the White Sox are majorly overachieving at this point. The Cubs are far and away the best team in baseball with seemingly minuscule holes in their game. I don't really see how they will be stopped.

Interesting that 8 of the 10 teams that have scored the most runs thus far are in the National League (Boston at #6 and Detroit at #8 are the only representatives from the junior circuit). You might not expect that, what with the pitcher hitting.

For sure. AT least the matchups are favorable; the Red Sox do not have to face Sale
Quintana is still good. And they have a bit more depth behind Sale.

I originally thought the Rangers would be the best team out of the AL, but I think it's the White Sox.

Big four-game series Cubs vs. the hot Washington Nationals will test both teams.

Match ups

Thursday: Ross (3-0) v. Hendricks (1-2)
Friday: Scherzer (3-1) v. Lackey (3-1)
Saturday: Gonzalez (2-1) v. Hammel (4-0)
Sunday: Roark (2-2) v. Arrieta (6-0)

7-0 lead in the 5th and I bet our bullpen keeps that ER streak alive

Simon, easily our worst SP, is the first to go into the 8th inning since Finnegan flirted with a No-No last month.

.....fuck me....... Simon immediately gives up a 2-run dinger.

Cubs took the first of this crucial series against the Nationals (assuming a series is crucial at this stage of the season). Pitching continues to be solid, and the run differential is now an impressive +96 (164 to 68).

Also, a fun fact: last night was the first time ever in MLB history that 4 first place teams played in the same city at the same time (Red Sox, White Sox, Nationals, and Cubs).
