While it would be great for the win streak to reach double figures, losing one game in the series to a top 5 pitcher, would not be a disaster. This was the game most Cubs fans saw as the greatest challenge. The Cubs are a team who's top hitters (except for Bryant and perhaps Russell these days) are primarily left handed. Rizzo hits lefties real well, but I have to think Sale will be tough on the boys. With Haren facing Sale, it's unlikely a sweep will be completed. But with a series victory already assured, they are playing with house money.


Top 5 pitcher???

his stat sheet isn't much better than Dan Haren.They flashed the stats for both during the game. I was shocked how close they are.


Yes, Sale has had some lousy outings in the past few weeks. but I suspect he may have a stellar outing tomorrow. Yes, I consider Sale a top 5 starter and if he returns to the form we saw from him the 6 weeks prior to the All-Star break, the Cubs will be hard pressed to scratch out any runs. I hope he continues to struggle, but I don't count on that happening.



You know how some guys say "I hate to say I told you so"? ......I don't have issue with that.

The Cubs are an organizational disaster. They need to trade away all the young busts and sign over the hill free agents. That's a good plan.

Wow. You really stepped out on a limb too. Amazing.

Based on his last start vs the Angels, I figured he was back on track and if you looked at his last start vs the Cubs earlier this year, it was easy to believe he would dominate a matchup against Haren. That several others thought otherwise was a surprise to me.

No shit. I didn't think the Cub would lose another game all season.
