Our next 5 matchups are set up to score some runs. We've absolutely owned Ubaldo because we're patient and hit straight heat, and I think we'll hit Marquis this time around. We just hit Harang and Cueto, but of course it was at home. We better destroy that Lehr fuck.
Thanks Andy.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
The Cubs remaining schedule has a .484 winning percentage so it is a pretty easy road, but the Cardinals have an even easier schedule at .473. Both have one more home game than road games.

The big one for me is the three home off days for the Cards and we have none.
An off day when traveling just isn't the same.
Fat Bastard is an immensely obese, hardly able to walk (weighing a metric ton) gardener and henchman hailing from Scotland. His extreme size endows Fat Bastard with super-human strength as exhibited by his prowess in the Sumo ring from Goldmember. This makes him a formidable enemy for Austin Powers. Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his frequent flatulence, his vulgar and revolting bad manners and his unusual eating habits, which include taste for Human infants (which he calls "the other other white meat") or anything that looks like a baby, e.g. small people. Fat Bastard has been a regular at Cub games since the early 80's when he tried several times (unsuccessfully) to eat the visiting San Diego Chicken.

If we can get through August within a game or two, I'll feel pretty good. This month has been/will continue to be a bitch. Thank goodness we have Pittsburgh and the Nats sprinkled in there...

I am so demoralized by this team right now. We can't beat the good teams which does not bode well for us even IF we make the playoffs. Beating up on bad teams is only going to get us so far. We have a lot of work to do. We are only 4 games out in the WC and division yet if feels like an insurmountable deficit right now.

We aren't making the playoffs. The Cards are pulling away and will leave us behind in a week, so the Central isn't happening. The Rox are better than us and will most likely win the WC, so there's that.
I'm done schedule watching for the remainder of the season.
