The Martin Maldonado trade and attendant Willson Contreras IL move got us good and distracted from last night’s sloppy loss to the Reds, but I’m here to remind you: it was a sloppy loss to the Reds. And that sucks.
Sorry. Sorry. I can’t delete it. But I can note that the Brewers lost again, too, which means the Cubs still have a SIZABLE lead in the NL Central. And, because this division is such a shitshow, the Brewers actually wound up slipping into third place.
Say hello to the second place St. Louis Cardinals:
After the Reds are done laying waste to the Cubs this week, maybe there’ll be a three-team tie atop the standings or something. Who knows anymore.
Baseball!
