Tell me this isn't real...

No such thing as a must win game in May, but this feels like one ahead of a tough stretch.

Engel eats the cubs alive for some reason, I don't hate it. I don't love it, but I don't hate it. 

Given the players available that lineup is about as good as you can hope for. At least Sheets isn't in RF again.

The Top 4 are the 4 best BAs against Hendricks basically in order. Not a huge fan of playing matchups that specifically, but it's pretty whatever.

Yeah it’s honestly the best defensive OF they can put out there.

Does the bottom 4 or 5 of the lineup even get a hit?

You think Grandal and Pollock are that bad of hitters?

And that McGuire is a better option?

Pollock I have faith with come around.  Yaz, not so much.

The way he dropped Leury from the top of the lineup so suddenly and comprehensively, It confirms more and more Tony got a talkin to. Or, he just woke himself up.

Did you have to google that?

I actually remembered it from YEARS ago when they used it in an ad campaign.

The .1 I wouldn't have known specifically, but the 8 miles apart is pretty common knowledge I feel.

With Vaughn out, you pretty much have to put Sheets in.

The choices become 2 out of 3 of Leury, Harrison, and Burger.

I remember attempting to do a day game at Wrigley than a night game at Comiskey. Yeah, we were toast by the 4th inning at Comiskey. Forgot where we parked. It was a two day hang over.

I feel like I would try this saying I was gonna pace myself and just completely fail.  That's a long day.

I never thought about it, but I would have guessed at least 12 miles. Possibly fifteen. And I consider myself a Chicagoan. I may have to revoke my membership card.

You're accustomed to Texas metrics now. Everything's bigger in Texas.

I think if it was only Sox fans in the group it may have ended well but the Cub fans had to show us the cool bars to go to before the game.  Yeah, there was no pacing involved. But it sounded so good when we planned it.

I feel like it gets said a lot by national media when covering cross town games.  Or it used to.

I know Burger isn't hitting, but I'd still take him at 3rd and Harrison at 2nd over both crappy slap hitters in the same lineup.

LOL. I was thinking I would take Halsted down it would take about 30 minutes, maybe 45.
