Alright, folks. We’re here. The second half of the season. Although there’s still a lot of baseball left, the nature of the NL Central and new, uniform trade deadline actually makes the next 2-3 weeks extremely important. We really need the Cubs to get off to a hot start, and that begins today.
Yu Darvish is on the mound and he’ll throw to Victor Caratini. Robel Garcia is at second base. And Albert Almora is out in center field. Chris Archer stands between the Cubs and a good start. Let’s see if they’ve got what it takes. Go Cubs.
