Coghlan leading off makes me want to dive in front of a train

He got on base and scored the first run of the game.  Coghlan's going to be gone by Labor Day so let's not lose too much sleep over his presence.

Magic number: 83

The Cubs now have a 12.5 game lead on the second place team in the division. It's still only June.

Last season, no team finished the year with such a significant lead (although the Royals came close, finishing with 12). In 2014, only the Nationals, in a crappy division, finished the year with a larger, 17-game lead.

They've allowed 193 runs and have a +171 run differential. Jebus.

After they hit back-to-back homers, Bryzzo did a celebratory dance/salute similar to the ones they did in this commercial.

They've allowed 193 runs and have a +171 run differential. Jebus.

They might double up their runs allowed before this weekend ends.

If they sweep, they'll be 30 games over .500, and 15 games ahead of St. Louis in the standings.

All before July.

Clayton to the DL. Warren to AAA to be stretched out for a start before the ASG

Spencer Patton and Gerardo Concepcion up

Jed: So, you think we should make some trades to fix our shitty bullpen?
Theo: Before we do that, let's see if our shitty guys in AAA are better than our shitty guys in Chicago, cool?
Armando Rivero: I'm not as shitty as either of those guys.

True, Theo only has his wealth of scouting data, input from coaches, and the most advanced proprietary statistics on the planet to determine who to call up. Pen has an MilB app on his phone. He'd know.
