Today’s game is partially about the chance to win the series, but it’s mostly about Matt Garza. The Cubs could really use a great start out of him for so many reasons. Just look good, Matt.
The Cubs go with the “B” lineup, as BN’er Spencer puts it. I’m not really sure they have much of an “A” lineup, but I know what he’s saying.
