This historic match-up features the Chicago Cubs facing off for the first game of a three-game set against the one and only Arizona Diamondbacks, who are currently in their tenth season of Major League Baseball. While the Diamondbacks (50-47) find themselves in third place in the National League West outperforming their Pythagorean record (45-51) despite losing four of the last five and eleven out of the last fifteen, the Chicago Cubs (50-44) find themselves in the hunt for first place in the National League Central. Athletic contests don't get much more exciting than this folks.

Yeah.. Just ignore Iztraded. That'll be gone by the next game.

Consider me a fan of earth2sean's starter posts. More people should attempt originality like that.

 

Originality is a good thing as far as it goes..... but when it bumps the date out of the game thread subject line..... well, that's not so good.
