In what many feel was a controversial win for the Scrubs *cough cough* I mean Cubs, new manager Mike Matheny and his relentless unit will be seeking revenge later on this afternoon, bank on that.
Lance Lynn, who is 3-0 on the season, will be on the mound--and even better news, the Cardinals will be amped up. Following that disaster that they called a game last night, one thing you can bet is that it woke this team up. The team has gone in a small slump at the plate at the moment, and if it weren't for Matt Holliday's two-run bomb in the eighth last night, this team would have been shut out with just five hits--and although Matt Garza isn't a bad pitcher, he's still not elite--but either way, in a 162 game season, this stuff just happens from time-to-time.
The Cubs play up to the Cardinals level every single season when it comes to head-to-head--but that's why there is 140+ more games that we play. That's one thing I have never understood about the Cubs past ball clubs. If they cared as much about every game as they do against our beloved Cardinals, they might actually make a nice run--but then again, that's why they are the Cubs.
The game today will deliver the first pitch at 1:20 pm Central Time and will be played at Wrigley Field. I will have lineups posted before the first pitch and will also post a link to the game for online streaming. Beat the Cubs!
