Jake Arrieta day started inauspiciously but ended well. Let's see if Wood can repeat his magic from last week.

 

IT'S ADDISON RUSSELL DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well we pretty much always get destroyed by liriano, but practically none of the players on the cubs have been around that long, so hopefully this will be a different story.

 

castillo and denorfia have solid career numbers against liriano, so i think it would be a good day for both of them to get starts.

 

maybe a lineup of:

 

8 fowler

9 soler

3 rizzo

5 bryant

7 denorfia

6 castro

2 castillo

1 wood

4 who cares, herrera i guess

Wood was the best I've seen him since 2013 last start. Let's see that Travis again.

Happy Addison Russell day

It feels like they are putting their foot on the gas and just accelerating now. Next week trade Almora for an awesome young pitcher, please.

[TruffleShuffle]

let's just call up schwarber to play left field for one game, i mean [expletive] it, why not.

[DiamondMind]

RUSSELL CALLED UP

[fallacy]

This is the most excited i've been for a cubs team/game since prior was on the team

[DiamondMind]

I'm vibrating with happiness.

[ScrubMD]

If you need to go peepee while the Cubs are batting, pray that Denorfia is up.

[DiamondMind]

We're going to win a World Series guys.

[jb10194]

With the next 20 games against the NL Central, it's gonna be important to win as much as we can these next few weeks. Russell is a HUGE upgrade. This is so much fun.

theo always said this [expletive] was going to happen

[DiamondMind]

What # for Russell? 9? It's time to blow some serious cash on cubs.com I think.

 

Our front office is [expletive] ingenious btw. Next 20 games in division, this timing isnt coincidental.

@#%# Theo. This is fun, but he still doesn't get to take a bow for being awful and passive for three years.

 

Liriano is good and all, but I still like that Soler, Bryant and Russell get to see a lefty tomorrow.
