8/21 Cubs (Hammel) @ Rockies (de la Rosa) 3:10 PM CT ABC 7

[ctcf]

Finally, I am on the board for game thread starts. Huzzah. That almost makes up for the fact I'm 1-7 seeing the winningest team in baseball during the last two seasons. Truly, I am a statistical wonder.

 

The mysterious Good Second Half Hammel takes the mound at Coors, which if we're being honest still terrifies me.

 

I have nothing to say about Jorge de la Rosa. He's as compelling as a pile of wet leaves.

 

Go Cubs.

I like that the Cubs haven't lost a series yet in the second half (I'm counting the White Sox series as a 4-gamer). Win this one and keep that run alive, please.

Nowhere good to put this so I'll just put it here: the Cubs are facing Jaxon tomorrow in SD

Jorge De La Rosa is still playing baseball?

Jorge De La Rosa is still playing baseball?

 

Going by his numbers, the answer to that would appear to be "maybe."

I like this lineup very much.

Rogers on Twitter made it sound like it's not a big concern. Said he's just a little sore after taking that foul ball of the knee yesterday.

[UMFan83]

Hammel is working soooooooo slow. More annoying than even the results so far

[Sammy Sofa]

Get fucked, ump.

[UMFan83]

I think the Cubs were partying at a dispensary last night or something

Get us out of this hellhole. Our defense has gone to total horsefeathers this series.
