This first half seemingly had no end to it with 93 games played by the Cubs before the break, which itself was actually a below average number (league average was 96 and the Cubs played fewer games than every other team in baseball). And yet, it is still hard for me to believe that we are actually at the All-Star break and that we’re closing in on the 100-game mark. There is nothing magical about 100 games other than the roundness of the number. However, I’ve always thought of 100 games the point in which the season begins to turn from marathon to sprint.
