I watched the last few innings of the Cubs’ game.
I am definitely concerned. Other than the Giants’ series, they are feasting on the soft part of their schedule, as we feared. Worse, it just seems like their bullpen is getting stronger and hitting their stride at just the right time, whereas ours is gasping for air.
I’m not saying we are going to blow it, but I don’t think we are going to shake them until the final week, and failing to capture the tiebreaker could end up making things pretty uncomfortable.
I don't think we will be able to afford another 9-10 stretch.
