The Cubs have the best record in the league since April 30.

Also, Ross says that he's wearing a hoodie rather than a jersey because he wants to cover up the love handles.

Five-foot-nine Alcantara puts another one in the bleachers, and the Cubs' lead is back to four.

Alcantara doesn’t want to go back to Des Moines…

I know he is listed as five nine, but standing next to the other players, he doesn't look that much shorter.

Pederson may have the hottest hot streaks and coldest cold streaks of any player in the game.

Alcantara doesn’t want to go back to Des Moines…

He's proving Craig's controversial proposition that a prerequisite to hitting home runs is actually making contact with the ball.

Where have you gone, Winfield Mallory?

Chafin coming in to pitch.  His mustache goes perfectly with the all-blue uniform:

Megill looks like he’s struggling to get himself calm enough to pitch. Rivalry game. Prime time. National tv. You got this, kid.

Maples has one appearance since June 4th but Megill is pitching the 9th.

He's not very good which is why it's a strange call-up to me.

Megill gets away with two hanging breaking balls to Molina and Rondon for popouts.

Not the best bullpen management by Ross, imo.
