The skein of wins has eight knots in it now. The simCubs roll on. Yu Darvish pitched like an ace, Anthony Rizzo blasted a pair of darts. It wouldn’t upset the fabric of space and time, would it, to look for number nine in a row? I confess to being a prisoner of expectations.
Rizzo wasn’t the only Cub that had a good day. Jason Kipnis was 2 for 4, Kris Bryant barreled the ball a little, and Victor Caratini had a long rbi single.
