SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS(Samardzija) +128 over Chicago Cubs(Montgomery)----I don't really know how the Cubs have been allowed to get away with so much murder this year. Their DIFF is +222; they've scored 222 more runs than they've given up(by comparison Boston is +121 and the Nationals are +141). Every Cubs' starter is having the best year of his career. Montgomery has only started twice for the Cubs so I'm not considering him in that. I guess the addition of Ben Zobrist has helped the Cubs. They ARE walking out of their minds. But most other Cubs' stats are at a level that I don't consider authentic or "real". You'd think the Cubs have superior players; but they don't. They're just playing way beyond their abilities----for some reason---this year. The Giants, however, are 2 games back. So they need this game. And Samardzija has done good in August. Hopefully we can break the Cubs' godspell now----we all know it can't last forever.(Lose 5-4.........Cubs get so fucking GODDAMN lucky. Sf should have won; they're up 4-3 in the bottom of the 7th. Starts off with Dexter Fowler hitting a ground ball off the pitcher...........but off the pitcher just so much that he can't get to it and throw him out. I thought Will Smith did a good job in relief for Giants. He was calm, poised, took his time, K'd Rizzo, gave up a walk then got Heyward to pop out. Then Bochy took him out, I guess, because Russell was a RHB. Smith was doing so good, tho, you might just has well have left him in to face a .243 hitter in Russell. Cory Gearrin came in and Russell gets jammed, hitting a ball on the handle of the bat, but just far enough to get over the shortstop. Game is lost right there. I'm sick of this shit: CUBS SUCK. )
