Cubs vs. Reds 5/6-5/8

This is our first division matchup since a road series in Houston almost a month ago, and the first matchup against one of the teams expected to be at the top of the Central Division standings.

Today we'll see:

Cincinnati: E. Volquez (2-1, 5.67 ERA)

Chicago: M. Garza (1-3, 3.96 ERA)

Surprisingly, the Cubs have a losing record at home (6-8), so hopefully the hot bats that we saw in the last two games in LA continue.

Gametime today is 1:20 on WGN.

They had ample opportunity yesterday, but didn't capitalize.

I thought they could overrule that if they felt DeWitt could score.

:lol: He can suck it.

I feel like I just watched a Reds broadcast.

Great win for the Cubs!

Wow, Pena is actually hitting some homers lately.

Marcos Mateo FTW! That doesn't happen often.
