The Cubs enter Wednesday’s game tied for the MLB lead with nine wins and they’re up a game and a half in the division. This despite an 0-2 start in Japan that doomed their season. Did I mention they also have a +32 run differential that is 10 runs better than the next-closest team (Yankees)? I didn’t? Well, I’ll just have to correct that oversight next time.
One thing I’d like to note here since a Facebook reel from a recent Rant podcast has gone semi-viral is that playing well does not in and of itself excuse a lack of spending.
