This will not be easy....this Brave team is a comer. They can hit, if they get pitching they will be a huge problem.

They have to win tonight for a couple of reasons. One, this is your best or second best pitcher, two Teheran is terrible in the ballpark. That's an opportunity you have to grab by the balls.

I know the Braves been doing good lately but cubs need to win at least 2..
I'd say sweep but confidence meter is very low with Lackey and low with Montgomery..

Lester needs to win tonight and then hope for at least 1 of last 2.

Hendricks through 2 has yet to give up a walk/hit in AA and has only thrown 24 pitches.

Hendricks is out in AA. 5 IP of perfect ball with 3 K's and 63 pitches. Looking like he's pitching pretty well.

Can't ask for anything better then that..
Probably start on Saturday..

Cubs can have Quintana Hendricks and Lester lined up for the Cardinals..

Maddon will have Hendricks splitting up the lefties...

Tenn is also headed into the 9th with a perfect game on the line between Hendricks and Underwood.

Cubs left their hits in Baltimore..

This is the aggravating thing about this team..
They can look awesome for 2 3 games and then look like bad news bears against average teams and pitchers..
