What do you think they'll do in their rotation?

Do the Cubs face them again this season, or was that it?

One day I hope to come up with something worthy of this space.

Sometimes it's hard to read that calendar...

… especially when that Aug. 31 date is kind of squeezed in below the 24th.

Looks like that Bud Norris dude will get a shot.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

And we still have no chance at the playoffs...

LOL, just remembering all of those who forgot how the long the season really is.

Baseball is a tough business.

At least the Cubs got to feast on Ortiz before he (presumably) retires.
