Sunday wrapped up a great week for Cubs baseball. Finishing a 10 game stretch at 7-3. Unfortunately, the Pirates and Cards matched them during this time.

Lester pitched great last night. Ross with a clutch double, Fowler with the tying Sac. Then fast forward to the 11th where Castro walked off the Reds for the 2nd time in a row.

Kris Bryant's hit streak is up to 11 games

Bullpen has been lights out over the last month.

Everyone's love/hate relationship with Castro is at a love right now.

This will be a fun week for the Cubs, as we will get a chance to see highly touted prospects Lindor and Buxton

Arrietta vs Bauer today.

Look for the Cubs to make some roster moves, as they only have 4 bench bats.

Oh. and Vogelbach and Schwarber executed a double steal over the weekend.

At this point last year ,the Cubs were 12 games below .500.

For those that missed it. Great article on Joe Maddon and his approach with the Cubs. LINK

Bravo, Smokies...bravo indeed.

For some reason, the last thing I remember before I fell asleep last night as Motte falling apart...I just rolled over in bed and was like go figure. I woke up and watched the condensed game on MLB At Bat and holy crap, what a great job by him getting out of that jam.
