I don't really know what to say about this week. that was pretty much masterful baseball all around. Poor Sean Gallagher fell victim to the offense taking another Friday night off as he again goes 5 innings and gives up just three runs (which, though an inning shy of the official definition of a quality start, is about all you can ask from the kid.) The Cubs loaded the bases twice, once in the first, once in the sixth and managed to plate only one run in those two opportunities. Ryan Theriot found yet another way to generate outs when he tried to advance to third on a ground ball in the first.
The Jim Edmonds A.K.A. Jimmy Ballgame A.K.A. James Baseball signing continues to pay off way more than it has any right to, as Edmonds's batting average as a Cub is up to .309 and he currently sports a very healthy .857 OPS as a Cub. He is so much better at baseball than Reed Johnson it's not even funny, and he's a lefty to boot.
Speaking of good ole' Reed, big time props to #9 as his home run on Saturday finally propelled his offensive VORP to 2.8, and moving him ahead of Ted Lilly. Congratulations, Reed, your offensive run production is now greater than that of one of the worst hitting pitchers I've ever seen and it only took you 69 games to do it.
Edmonds is hitting, Jason Marquis has won three games in a row, and Ryan Dempster goes for his 9th win of the season tomorrow, with 6 more starts left before the all star game. Something is very, very wrong and I like it.
PECOTA as of Monday morning: 99-63, 89% chance of winning the division, 95.9% chance of making the post season
