The Cubs will open 2016 on the road against the Angels and Diamondbacks.  It'll be nice not to have to worry about weather postponing half the games in the first week.

Great way to start 2016

So we can now predict torrential rains for Southern California and Arizona next spring?

JeffH, we haven't heard from you in a while.  How do you assess the Cubs at this point in the season?

I have nothing to say on the subject.

Jeff's variation of the old "if you can't say anything nice ..." perhaps.

Excellent response.  He hasn't posted much this season, and the Cubs are doing very well, so ix-nay on trying to get more out of eff-Jay.

Top one is Russell.  Not sure who the bottom one is.  Are those 2015 numbers?

The top one is indeed Russell.

The bottom one is Barry Larkin's first full season...he had 160 or so AB's the season prior.

Schwarber "might" be able to pinch hit tonight from Maddon on the Score.

Sit him this series....no need to take any stupid chances at this point. We are going to need "Babe" in the coming weeks

Yep.  With sore ribs, batting would seem to risk exacerbating the injury.

Ramirez and Medina have been added to the team.
