Game 44- Game O Inches

The Cubs must have read yesterday's blog (yes, that's the ticket!) as they came out at the top of the game scoring a run in each of the first 4 innings of the game. Hendricks looked great until the wheels fell off in the 6th.

I guess the upside of this game was that the Nats pitching is much worse than the Cubs.

What is also interesting is how many 1 run games the Cubs have been involved with recently. Since April 1st, the Cubs have had 12 games decided by 1 run and have been 8-4 in those games. Last year  the Cubs couldn't buy a close win and this season is completely different.

The Cubs are looking good (if you exclude pitching). I don't know what is up with the pitching. If the starters look good, the bullpen looks shaky. If the starters can't get to the 5th, the pen often steps up. At this point I think everyone just hopes it all comes together in October.
