The Cubs need to go on a tear if they want to make the postseason.

Reeling in the Marlins is required.

Chicago’s Javier Assad has given up only two runs in his past 10 ¹/₃ innings.

The Fish counter with Adam Oller, who was called up from one of our favorite teams, the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp.

Oller has made one start since.

The D’backs hit two homers, scored five runs in 4 ²/₃ innings.

Play $50 on the Cubs.

Cue the Rocky music!

Picked Colorado thinking they had a puncher’s chance at Yankee Stadium.

Michael Toglia and Jake Cave homered, Bradley Blalock (two runs over 5 ¹/₃ innings) outpitched Will Warren (six runs over three innings) and the Rockies knocked out the Yanks, 9-2, in front of the old-timers and 40,000 stunned fans.

I haven’t been this excited since Snoop Dogg carried the Olympic Flame.

Happy Dogust!

Big win has us at -397 joegirardis.
