Yeah, it's just the Cubs & Reds, so not a huge baseball outcome, except....
The last time the Cubs did this was 1897. Yeah, 19th century. 126 years ago!
I think anything that happens only every 1/8th of a millennium is kind of a big deal.
Update: With the 5-3 win last night, the Cubs scored 41 runs in 3 games. Last time they did that was 1900!

1. Think they'll score again this weekend? Runs come in bunches and usually

when you don’t really need them unfortunately.
Good luck

4. Same Concern

Winning 20-6, then losing 3-2 & 4-3 still means losing 2 out of 3.
I'm more worried about Strohman. He seemed like he had a dead arm. Fastball wasn't moving, slider was flat. Now, he's hurt.
I have no expectations for this year, but I want them to be respectable and right now they are.
But, mostly I just think it's cool they did something for the first time in over 120 years!

2. on 37 hits. Wow.

16 runs on 16 hits Tuesday
20 runs on 21 hits Wednesday

De La Cruz lead off with a homer for the Reds tonight I see.

3. I kept thinking "who are these guys?"

Keep it up Cubbies!

5. Giants just beat D-Backs today. 1-0

With two hits. One was a Home Run.

In SF, these 1-0 games are known as TORTURE.

6. That was one odd game in SF today

Cubs score a ton. Giants win on two hits. As Buster Posey once said, “baseball’s weird.”

7. I lost count of the number of pitchers. nt

8. giants have won many one run games lately. That will go the other way too.

The baseball gods can really mess with you.

9. That's what Kruk and Kuip say

11. The Cubs are 8-2 for the last ten games

The BEST in MLB!

Like kudzu, the Cubs are going places!
