You know, despite the massive selloff the Cubs made at the trading deadline, they still do have major-league capable players, and more of those than you might think.
And two guys who have had previous MLB experience, Adrian Sampson and Michael Hermosillo, had big days Wednesday afternoon in Cincinnati, leading the Cubs to a 7-1 win.
A couple of notes: It was the first time the Cubs had a six-run lead at any time since they were up 7-0 over the Diamondbacks after five innings July 23 at Wrigley Field, 26 days ago.
