Good opening home stand lets keep the momentum on the road @ Wrigley.

They will not have to face Arrieta.

Gotta give plantman credit for getting us off to a good start.

Isn't it a little odd to start a road series on Monday with an off day Tuesday?

Just answered my own question, duh! Chicago's opening home game.

Lester is taking the bump for the Cubbies tonight. Hopefully the Reds can get a few guys on and run run run.

Phillips and Hamilton have hit Lester pretty good in the past. Would be a nice time to see Votto turn it on.

I wouldn't be. I'm getting paid to play a game while a bunch of people sit around their computers and talk about me :banana:

Why, should a leadoff hitter be embarrassed if the pitcher is batting 9th?
