Lots of bad weather around these parts this weekend. In fact
one of the three games the Braves were scheduled to play was postponed. Looks
like the Cubs could have used a rain out as well.
The Braves (18-12) are still 2 games ahead of the Nationals in
the NL East. They split two games with the Mets and I guess the third will be
played at a later date. They should get Brian McCann back this week. It is
always good to get back an all-star but since the Braves have lost 7 of their
last 10 games, it will be especially good to see him back out there. The Braves
head to Cincinnati today.
The Cubs (11-20) are in trouble. They got swept by the Reds
and have lost 4 in a row and 6 of their last 10 games. This puts them 9 games
back in the NL Central. They welcome Texas to town this week and really need to
right the ship or things could get ugly in Wrigley.
The Orioles (19-13) gained ground on the Red Sox this
weekend. They sit 1.5 games out of first after taking 3 out of 4 from the
Angels. They finally get to come home and face the Royals this week.
The Cubs are fighting for a Wild Card spot... and it's not Memorial Day yet. This is the curse for not hiring Ryne Sandberg to be their manager.
ReplyDeleteGood to see our Orioles gaining ground on the Red Sox.
