That picture right there is all you need to know. A-Ram was huge today, hitting two homers as the Cubs crushed the Cardinals 12-3. Lilly pitched a solid game, striking out 7, and with Milwaukee getting shellacked by Pittsburgh 9-0, we're tied for first once more. The Cards lost their fourth straight game and are now 3 back.
Look I know the Pittsburgh series sucked ass this weekend, but it's games like this that give me hope still. This team can look atrocious at times, but then they bust out with big game. We've got 19 more games left. It ain't over yet*.
*Well, except for the games Trachsel starts. Those are over before they even begin.
