Well, it was another up and down week punctuated by a brutal walkoff loss in Houston, some frustrating games in Philly, and a nice win over the New York Metropolitans last night. Christopher Morel AKA Christopher Meowrel AKA Christ Morel has homered in 5 straight games and has 9 in his first 12 games since his callup and Stroman, Steele and Smyly continue to shove. Beyond that, Taillon has struggled mightily, the bullpen woes have lingered, the offense is leaving a lot to be desired, and the Cubs are five games under .500. Nonetheless, they find themselves still in the mix in an exceedingly mediocre (according to Ross, "sh***y) and winnable NL Central so let's stay optimistic?
