Second longest road trip of the year out of the way and we went 5-4. I'll take it.

No doubt.
Winning on the road at that pace sets up a massive #of wins.
41-40 on the road is fantastic. Anything better is gravy.
Win 55+ at home, and we run away from the division. I like where things are right now.
He better be fined and suspended. Contrares got that much for his helmet inovertedly hitting an ump last year.
Overall satisfied with the road trip but there's a lot of room for improvement. The approach at the plate with runners in scoring position has to change. I know they know this, now do it.
I hate the Cardinals, and especially Yadier Molina, as much as the next guy.
From what I've heard, the channel showing the game has audio clip and said they weren't going to play it. It sounds like the Diamondback's manager referred to Yadi as "that ************," and I can't blame Yadi for getting pissed about that, and though making contact with an umpire is illegal (I believe) I'm fine with the ump keeping him in the game. Honestly, Lovullo's ass should be suspended for weeks, if not months.

Thinking Schwarber and Happ are about a week away from a demotion if they don't turn it around soon.
Zobrist may become a regular in left. Zaungus is the likely call up.
Caratini has some skills at first. If Rizzo isn't soon to return I'm guessing Gimenez handles #2 catching duties.
Pen has been lights out.

I wish the Cubs would've traded Happ and Schwarber while they still had worth. I think Caratini's value will end up leading to him being traded at the midway point this season, I'm just not sure what for. I think our biggest need is in the outfield, but I also think the Cubs are going to be holding off for Harper.
It's possible they try adding in some prospects (Caratini, Happ, Schwarber) in a deal with Heyward to try and lessen the amount they would have to pay off his contract.

My feelings about the road now vs 10 innings ago couldnt be further apart. Hopefully they can hold the momentum and have a good home stand. Hopefully the rain stays away from Wrigley next week.
Wow, after one week, people are wanting Happ and Schwarber traded or demoted? I'm very very very glad you're just posters and not GMs. This is ridiculous...it's been only one week.
Lovullo should be suspended for calling Yadi a bad word? What kind of ***** **** is that? **** you're soft.
Especially to get Mark Zagunis and Chris Gimenez up here. This isn't exactly making room to get Eloy Jimenez to the bigs.
Why are the Cubs going to try to move Caratini? They need a backup catcher, and he could potentially be a very good one, who can also play some 1B. Don't see why they would trade him just to trade him.
