Almora on the pine again. He's got a .295/.350/.400 slash line and he's catching everything in CF.

He's a 1 WAR guy if you want it, currently 3rd on the Cubs.

I just can't understand Joe's reluctance to run him out there every day at CF.

And it's not like he is going to be hitting against pitchers that are any good.

The White Sox are playing terrible and the Cubs probably should sweep them. I expect the Sox to lose at least two of these games.

Crap weather potential for all three games. The real intrigue to this series is how many games they start on time, if at all.

They should be OK today and Sunday weather wise. It's going to be pretty cold with the winds howling in all three games. Fulmer will still find a way to give up a couple of long balls.

Theo should act like Billy Bean in Moneyball and trade Haap, just so Maddon has to play Almora. Wouldn't miss his strikeouts and horrible play in CF and Almora could become the star he should be, playing everyday.

Cubs should sweep but 2 of 3 will suffice.

Fulmer pisses down his leg from jump.

It really is ridiculous to look at cub beat "reporters" tweets scrolling along the side of the cbssports feed. They seem to not understand that their job isn't to be a team cheerleader. Jesse, of course, leads the way.

Fulmer is on the ropes and up walks "turned the corner" Baez to impersonate a whirling dervish.

Yeah Coop, the reason Fulmer sucks is because the game started a little late .

Fulmer should maybe try underhand? Granny style pitching?
