Not excusing the Cubs' errors, but the Cardinals committed several unrecorded errors, base running, judgement, and bobbles.

Very unusual for the club committing 4 errors to beat the errorless club by 8 runs.

The Bible says that "love covers over a multitude of sins." 

In baseball, I think the same can be said for offense!  Offense covers over a multitude of errors!  4 errors, who complains a lot when you're scoring a bunch of runs and winning easily anyway?  Chatwood giving up two HR and three runs?  Who cares when the offense had scored enough to win anyway?  Q wasn't sharp enough to go longer than 6 innings, and place a 3-inning load on the bullpen; who cares when you've scored plenty?  Darvish game?  Yes, everybody noticed and cared, but still, when you score enough runs to win anyway, it's less problematic.  Scoring lots of runs and hitting lots of HRs, and every flaw seems less noticeable.

Winning trumps all other deficiencies.

Sometimes 1 ERROR can change momentum suddenly - which normally leads to losing

JD worried about a letdown after the Cardinals series.  I'd be surprised.

Extra base hits are fun, glad the Cubs are hitting them regularly this year.

Amazing how Baez hits fastballs with authority to right field.

Without looking, how many of the eight players with more Cubs career HR than Rizzo can you name?

Dawson was wrong?
