The Cubs continued to play well this week, taking two of three from the Marlins. Maholm pitched a terrific game on Thursday. I wonder if the Cubs are thinking of trading him as well. He is and has been a journeyman pitcher, not exactly an impact player, but he could be useful to a contender down the stretch and he is pretty cheap as pitchers go, with a team option for 2013 as well.
We went out to the game Wednesday night. Quite a good game, very tight until the Cubs blew it open in the seventh by putting together a nice series of at-bats. Samardzija turned in what can only be described as a gutty performance. He had nothing, or at least nothing he could command, but he did hang in there and keep the game close, 1-1 when he left.
The lead picture was taken sometime during the Cubs seventh inning rally. The picture above when the rains came. Needless to say we were soaked on the way home.
