6/24 Dodgers (Bolsinger) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 PM CSN;ESPN2

[OleMissCub]

According to Weather.com, it doesnt seem like the real strong stuff will hit until 10pm. There is a window of rain and thunder in the 8:00 hour but then nothing at 9. If those reports are accurate i think we will ge this in.

 

Not sure how fast Bolsinger works, but we all know Hendricks can pitch some lightning fast games.

They're both things that are instantly ruined by Eli Manning's weird face?

[Fred Hornkohl]

Two very good answers !!!

 

But the answer we're looking for is...... for best results, you gotta get it up by midnight !!

 

 

 

Go CUBS !!

i kind of suspect we're going to go wood and jackson together and pray they can combine for six.

 

this has the added benefit of giving theo an excuse to have a 14 man pitching staff again for a couple days, so you know he'll be in favor.
