The Cubs are still on the road, but the opportunity to flee St. Louis and not look back for a little while has to feel like going home. Besides, Milwaukee isn’t so far from Chicago, anyway.
Jason Hammel and Jimmy Nelson square off in the most anticipated rematch since those two boxers that fought a little while ago and people were kind of talking about it but what were their names I think they were talking about doing a rematch oh I forget because who cares about boxing and especially one of those two guys who doesn’t deserve any more attention …
Kris Bryant stays elevated in the two-hole tonight, with Dexter Fowler returning as the lead-off man.
