Who would have thunk it a few weeks ago. I was surprised when the announcer mentioned it was the first time that Houston led the division all season. The bats are coming alive too.

Clears the bases with a double, staking Wicks to a 3-0 lead in the 1st I can't remember the exact time but maybe 2-3 weeks ago Ross sat him down for a game and I felt like Suzuki realized he better get going or his time in the league was going to be somewhere else. He's really answered the bell for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your boys have been playing great baseball at the right time. The Reds were doing that just before all-star break. Then our mojo disappeared with injuries, illness, and lots of poor pitching/play. But we're trying to fight back now for that 3rd playoff spot. 😁 Edited September 6, 2023 by jv1972iu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we just continue to buy time until Stroman gets back or maybe Jed calls up another Wicks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope we just continue to buy time until Stroman gets back or maybe Jed calls up another Wicks. They called up a kid from Iowa named Luke Little (he's 6'8 and 220, so 🙂)... "In his last eight outings with the Iowa Cubs, all of which have been relief appearances, Little has a 1.54 ERA and a save, with 21 strikeouts in 11.2 innings of work." As for Stroman, I think he's through as a Cub... I listened to Hoyer in the booth a few games back, and the injury is a mystery to the front office... Nothing a contract extension wouldn't cure probably, but... Edited September 6, 2023 by IUFLA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest of the teams in MLB should black ball Stroman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 The Cubs are in prime position for the playoffs now. And, it's just not the Wild Card that is in play. Looks like it will be 4 teams battling for that last NL Wild Card. The Giants are slumping bad though, at the worst time possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Gallo who actually did it twice (41/32 and 40/38) and Bonds who had 73/49 and McGuire did it 3-4x. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My union guy is a big Astros fan (along with every other Houstonian) and I said something to him about the sweep... his retort was, "what does East Texas and this year's World Series have in common?" "No Yankees" 🙂 Edited September 7, 2023 by IUFLA 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
