4/20 Dodgers (Grove) vs. Cubs (Taillon): 6:40pm, Marquee

[Brock Beauchamp]

Let's keep this train rolling. The Dodgers, after a decade of being better than everybody else, suddenly look mortal. The Cubs already took a series in Los Angeles, now they get to host them for a three game set at Wrigley.

three may be the magic number but, in actuality, this is a 4-game series with the dodgers.

Damn it all, of course it is. Starts on a Thursday.

I wonder if the Dodgers will get Will Smith back for this series.  We saw last weekend how ordinary their lineup is without him.  With the Dodgers injury woes and the way the pitching is lining up for the Padres series what looked like a really tough 7 game stretch a few weeks ago might actually be something we can go 4-3 during.

Happy 4.20 day for those who celebrate.

Well who knows? Weather is kinda dicy this weekend so you might be right on it being a 3 game series.

Edited: Actually only tonight looks wet

Yeah, wet tonight, then getting real cold for the weekend, which is unfortunate because those are some intriguing pitching matchups. 

[Bertz]

Betts and Smith still out, really gotta win this one

Yikes...that came out of nowhere

[Banedon]

I mean, Taillon hasn't been very good, but even so...not great.

I once strained my right groin about 25 years ago, and I bounced right back. It just stopped hurting a few months ago.

I don't love starters making back-to-back starts against the same team, so I'm pretty okay with this for tonight.  I just hope he's not out for too long after.  Just 4-5 starts I hope?

[Banedon]

Seems like rain is gonna impact this one anyway.
 

 

[UMFan83]

Will definitely a delay but looking pretty good to get the game in

[Nolansomebody]

Little surprised that they haven't called off the game, but then again it is only 6:30 Central

Rain should be gone within an hour-ish, and looks like once it's gone it'll stay gone.

[Brian707]

Yup I'm about 40 miles away from Wrigley and the rain is gone and sunny skies.  I would imagine first pitch by 745

Sorry to bring back the past, but today I learned that there was a supporters section for the Oakland Athletics. Probably why there was a horn going off on 670 The Score during Tuesday's game.

I get that there has to be a limit to how long you have to challenge but come on that was like within 1/2 second of the time expiring
