6 home games this week. Would be nice to win 2 out of 3 against the Pirates and at least that against the woeful Brewers. Let's get this done.

Good to see Lake coming up. Better to see Schlitter sent down

I think it would be a good idea to let Soler sit a game or two this weekend against the Brewers

Looks like in the early going the magic number for the cubs is 4

11 of first 17 games they scored 4 or more runs and are 9-2 in those games...

Hammel and Rizzo!

Not like they won by double digits but once the Cubs got the lead, the game never felt in danger again. I love those games and we need more lol

Love seeing outings like this from the back end of the rotation

Need more of these from the starters. Especially with the weakened pen
