The view from the top

As we go into the All Star break, my Cubs are in first place. I am, of course, thrilled. I'm also surprised. I knew we were improved over last year, but I didn't expect them to be this good.


 I'm especially happy for our phenomenal center fielder, Pete Crow-Armstrong. PCA! PCA! He's a fan favorite. An all-star who hits, has a terrific arm, and is a demon on the base pads. He's got a relationship with the Bleacher Bums, who paid him this unusual tribute. 19 of them stripped down to spell out his name on their chests in Pantone 294.  (I love the hyphen.)

 

So I'm having fun. I miss Anthony Rizzo, of course. This is the first season since 2012 that I haven't watched him anchor the corner. There's a hole in my heart.
