Cubs shlubs
They've actually gotten a number of players back of late as well, even with the high profile losses did Wright and Harvey (who really weren't doing much, anyways).Great game, but I hate to say it, the Mets look poised to take the division back. All they needed to do was lose half their team to injuries.

Granderson and d'Arnaud being out was huge, as it meant de Aza and Plawecki had to play every day and those dudes can't hit worth shit. Walker and Cespedes were handed up a little as well, and both seem to be rounding back into form.
Conforto was struggling big time... sending him down and promoting Jesus freak Brandon Nimmo, who just tries to make contact and smile, was a big boost as well. Conforto got too homerun happy and it was effecting his swing. When he returns it'll only go to lengthen the lineup.
I hope both teams stay healthy into September. They're clearly both among the best teams in the NL and it would be fun to see them slug it out for the division down the stretch, especially as both teams should have the fall back of the wild card in place.
Strasburg / Syndegaard again tonight. Should be a fun one.
Duda will provide a nice lunch off the bench when he returns .
White Sox up your ass.
Stop.
