OmarComing25 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 There was a headline on ESPN yesterday that read something like "Mets' Arms vs. Cubs' Big Bats, a Must-See". What big bats? Cubs are 23rd in runs scored and 10th in the NL. Their offense is probably their biggest weakness right now, because their bullpen has been lights out the last month and they've been getting pretty good starting pitching.

fathom Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 and a blown double play ball by the Mets gives the Cubs a run. The Cubs are about to go to 6-0 vs the Mets this year, and our good friend Carlos Torres still sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just root hard for the Giants & Pirates to win the two wild card spots. LOL, just saw that DeGrom gave up a hit to Baxter and a homer to Herrera, the Cubs real "big bats".

OmarComing25 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Mets are the Cubs' b**** this year. I don't trust the Giants to hold up, they have some guys playing over their heads. Cubs have a pretty easy path to the playoffs at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giants need to acquire some starting pitching. Counting on Peavy, Lincecum and Cain seems dangerous. The Cubs have a very soft schedule the rest of the way, with a lot of games against teams likely to be sellers (Reds, Brewers, Phillies). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmarComing25 Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Cubs pitching has been dynamite recently, but they can't buy a run. Their offense looks bad. Rizzo is slumping, Bryant has been just OK the last few weeks outside of his two HR game, Russell has cratered the last month, and everyone else has been mediocre to bad.
