All right, so that photo doesn’t actually come from this time period. But, I thought it was a fun one. It was from one of the better games (particularly from the standpoint of WPA and Heroes and Goats) and it features the two recent birthday boys. Anthony Rizzo and Jason Heyward have birthdays one day apart if you didn’t know. Both turned 29 while the Cubs were in Kansas City. This was certainly a frustrating stretch of games, but as we’ll get into later as we look at the standings and odds, the Cubs came out of this stretch with the best record in the National League and they came out of it with a two game lead.
