4/27 Cubs (Wood) @ Marlins (Sanabia) 6:10 p.m. CT, CSN+

[InconspicuousZ28]

We are all witnesses to the rebirth of Kevin Gregg.

[bcl412]

5 more of those in a row please ( I mean, more of that would be nice but I'll take 5 more to get to .500)

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Good Guy Gregg.

[Sosa21MVP]

I love it when a plan comes together.

[TruffleShuffle]

if the cubs can somehow get mlb to agree to change the schedule such that every game for the rest of the year is against the marlins, this team has a good shot at the postseason.

[Sammy Sofa]

Gregg's got some surprisingly nasty movement on some of those pitches. Go figure.

[RammyFanny]

Really liking Borbon so far (outside of the slides). Could be a pretty useful 4th outfielder. Even better that he's relatively young and came free.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Go CUBS !!

[Bryants Disco Ball]

Love that we found a team we can beat, but dang, we can't even score a lot of runs against the Marlins.

[Little Slide Rooter]

I'd be interested in seeing something along the lines of DeJesus, Soriano, Schierholtz, Rizzo, Castro, Valbuena, Castillo, Barney vs. righties for a bit. I don't think that there are many people out there who believe that this .313/.362/.578 slugger is the real Nate Schierholtz, but as long as we don't have anything resembling a big league 3 hitter, may as well ride it out and see what happens.

[Sammy Sofa]

No.

[TruffleShuffle]

yes, put a guy whose obp has barely been over .300 the past three years in the 2-hole.

[Guest]

So is Gregg actually going to be the closer for the time being, even after Fujikawa comes back?
