Gotta like winning the Lopez/Gio game.

Cubs might be in the negative for run differential after tomorrow. What are the Dodgers? Like +70?

Glad I didn't get emotionally invested in the Cubs. They are basically the team in a regular season that plays a great first month and then collapses.

Knock the Cubs in the mouth early, and I think they roll over and this becomes another laugher.

Darvish is a very good quality starter. Hopefully this is going to be an example where the Sox win a tight competitive game against a very good pitcher. I look forward to this game.

I've never seen a guy as hot as Abreu. At least not in a White Sox uniform.

He's at a point where you'd have to consider walking him with the bases loaded

Yeah, it should've stopped at 400'.

It’s an unnoticed thing when you make the play but robert has been fantastic in each of the last three games coming in on bloops. He gets there so quickly that he is making catches at shoulder height that would have to be shoe top for others

As he made that catch, I was thinking I have not yet seen him make a diving or a sliding catch.

That's because he gets to everything and more or less turns it into a routine catch.

Plus he gets hurt when he dives.

No need for that.

That's a good take. He reads the ball off of the bat extremely well and his strides are very long. Stone had a good comment the other day when he got hurt diving for that ball. It was to the effect that he needs to learn that depending on the score of the game, not to try and dive for everything where you risk injury.

I thought Happ hit a rocket into the gap for a double. Robert move five steps to his left and made the catch with ease. Incredible.

The AL Central has 3 teams with a winning percentage over .600

The Cubs are the only winning team in the NL Central
