It’s been more than two weeks and a trading deadline’s worth of time since the last entry in the “Three up, three down” series, so... just how have the Cubs done since that July 27 article, and who’s hot and who’s not?
The Cubs are 7-9 since that article was posted July 27, which is... not terrible! I still think this team can play .500ish ball the rest of the year; if they do so, they’ll wind up with about 70 or 71 wins, which is essentially the same as last year, only with a bit more optimism.
