The Cubs welcome the Tigers to Wrigley Field tonight, and will look to avoid being the Tigers’ soft place to fall. Max Scherzer’s been up and down lately, so he could be great tonight, or ugly. Either way, we’ll probably attribute the results to Rudy Jaramillo’s firing, because that makes sense.

WE JUST WON A ONE RUN GAME
I think hell froze over
Baby steps folks…baby steps.
It’s obviously the new hitting coach
Who is the new hitting coach? Maybe I just missed it, but I have yet to hear a name.
Jay Rowson see Brett’s article about Rudy getting fired
I knew I must have missed it. Brett wouldnt have forgotten to put that.
You’re Mister obvious now?(LOL)
Really? It’s time for this back and forth to stop. I love this site because of the intelligent commentators,please stop ruining it with your obnoxious need to get back at MG.
Why would “I “need to get back at MG? I don’t get it.
Trust me I’m finished, BetterNews/Joe/GoldFinch obviously won’t take feedback, and ignores the advice of Brett. It’s time for everyone to ignore these comments.
