Zack Hample trolled our troops by catching all their foul balls, and I'm glad of it. Other than that, he seems like a real jerk!

BTW in the early game, Craig Counsell hosed up the lineup card and Braun had a hit taken away for batting out of order :P

My folks are at the Cubs game today for my dad's birthday, and one of the gifts I got him was a big ol' W Flag, which he found quite amusing in light of our recent skid. He brought it with him to the game though, so please win so he can use it, Cubs.

We're only 0.2 innings in and Baez already almost Schwarber'd himself making a play. :v:

I was going to make a joke about how Heyward being in the six spot hasn't stopped him from grounding out with RISP, but then the RBI double happened :toot:

So far so good Cubs, don't Cub it up.

Even better that it was Candelario, who got IBB'd in his second ever major league game.

Make Nick Martinez throw a full five innings no matter how many pitches it takes or runs he allows.

I'm sure I'll regret having said this when we inevitably get swept, but that's after the all-star break, and I'm fine with taking on the Rangers after the Cubs have gotten some well-deserved rest and Fowler is back.

Didn't you hear? Fowler and Miggy are going to get a chance in the rotation, and we're putting Arrieta and Lester in the bullpen because they're washed up bums.
