The Cubs busted out their big-boy bats last night, jumping out to an 11-3 lead and hanging on for a skid-stopping win. It was the 11th time they’ve scored four or more runs this month, all of which have been wins. It’s a good thing they pushed into double digits, though, as the Coors Effect was in full…well, it was evident the ball was flying well. Now if they can keep the offense humming.
I don’t know if Javier Assad can play the cello, but he sure looks like Yo-Yo Ma the way he’s been optioned and recalled over the last two weeks.
