[VanMan]

Well, fellow Cub fans, we can take heart that the Cubs have finally scratched the scoreboard after Cedeno had a PH RBI double to score Soto.

We can also take heart that it seems we'll remain in a tie for first unless we get a big comeback in the final seven outs of the game.

[cubbyfanforever]

Looks like in this division the winner will back in to first place.the leader will have to wait and see what the other two teams will do!

[VanMan]

How about an 80-82 division winner this year?

[ARamfan]

Looks like we just missed our big chance to save this game. :(

[ARamfan]

Well, at least the Brew Crew is losing. Cards are due to start their game against the DBacks in a few minutes, aren't they?

[cubbyfanforever]

Yes,I hope the Cards will also lose!
