Wisdom adds 4 K's, but the time he didn't is the 3-run homer.   You'd like to get both some hits and some HR's.  But man, those HR's are such game-changers when you do get them.

If any box score ever epitomized Widsom’s game, it’s today.  Seems almost impossible to believe can keep walking this tightrope but not much downside in giving him the chance to prove he can.

Cubs down to their last inning and Schwindel leads it off with a double.  Down by three; let's get a rally going.

Happ singles and Schwindel scores.  Tying run coming to the plate in the form of Matt Duffy, with one out.

Duffy walks and Contreras is quickly in an 0-2 hole, aided by a terrible call on a low pitch for strike one.  He hits a grounder that pulls Sano off first, but Sano reaches back to just barely tag Contreras on the hand; on replay the call is upheld.

Now Nico grounds to third but the throw to first is in the dirt.  Trayce Thompson with a chance to be the hero.

After yet another terrible low strike call, Thompson swings at a pitch in the dirt to strike out and end the game.  Can't blame him for swinging, the way this plate umpire was calling things.

The Cubs are on pace to become the first team to whiff 1,600 times in a season.

No takers on bleacher tickets?  They are free.  Sad state of affairs you can't give away tickets to a Cubs Cardinals game.

Are the tickets for the first or second game?  If they are for the afternoon game, I'll take them if no one else here is interested.

They are for the first game.  Send me a pm on the board with your email and I'll send them over.
