Well, Quintana or not, the Cubs' pitching staff (the bullpen tonight) seem to be unable too often to close the deal on close games. Big bats working tonight? No problem; but the little close ones are frustrating. (File under "The enemy gets a vote, or quit giving the other guy 4 outs."). Everyone seems to want to bring heat, as if the rest of MLB hasn't been studying the Cubs for awhile. Damn! As Crash Davis would say, "Be more democratic; throw some ground balls..."

The Cubs keep leaving these little openings for the fur-ball that is the NL Central. How are everyone's teams shaking out to this point? (Yeah, ok, if you're a Dodger fan you don't have to play.)
