The Cubs losing 6 games is possible, if not very likely.

It is very likely actually, but not tonight. Probably not tomorrow night either and the Braves series is iffy too. if not before, the 6th loss is likely to come at some time during the Nationals series. Can't expect a sweep of that one.

Other than the 3 games with the Cards, can you have an easier schedule than the Cubs have had?

I won't disagree that their early season schedule has been favorable. But beating teams you are supposed to beat is a big part of being a contender/ winning a division. The series VS the Nationals is one I am particularly looking forward to, as it should serve as a good measuring stick.

You're right. They should play other teams than they had on their schedule.

Good on him to take advantage of US Cellular's gift home runs when possible. 75% of his HR now come at that ballpark. Up to an .800 OPS at home!

I think I have posted this about 10 times. Abreu has more career HRs on the road than at home.

Just like a Sox fan to bring up the past.

Just like people used to think Abreu was better than Rizzo.

Good to see you finally hit one out of the park now that your team sucks.

He did not hit a HR thru all of July.

Yet Robin keeps trotting him out there in the middle of the order.

Who should replace him in the order? He's still one of their better hitters. He looks banged up.

If he is banged up, then he should have gone on or should still be on the DL.

I'm not saying he should be benched because as bad as Abreu and the Sox offense has been he is still one of their best hitters. He should not be hitting 4th though. He should probably hit 7th.

Eaton
Anderson
Melky
Frazier
Morneau
Lawrie/Saladino
Abreu
catcher
Shuck

Of course, maybe hell freezes over and Frazier or Melky gets traded today. Then none of this matters.

Abreu should hit behind Lawrie? And how many home runs did Morneau hit?

So I assume I won the Abreu-Rizzo wager.

Hard to believe he did not hit one HR all of July.

Surely something must be wrong with him.

I still think he's the best hitler on the team.

He hit a pitch that I doubt many other hitters in all of baseball could have hit out of the park. He brought his hands in so close and snapped his rights and had enough power to hit that ball over the fence. Most guys wouldn't have hardly touched that ball where it was pitched. He truly is a terrific hitter.
