The Cubs will try again today, and might actually win if they don’t immediately fall behind 4-0. Edwin Jackson will look for his first completely good start, as opposed to five great innings and a couple crappy ones.
Rookie Hiram Burgos makes his debut for the Brewers. May he be greeted less than warmly.
