Cubs Go For Series Win: Cubs vs. Pirates Preview, Wednesday 7/1, 6:05 CT

Wed, Jul 1 | from Bleed Cubbie Blue | More Cubs
That's right, ledge-jumpers. Despite the Cubs' horrendous road trip (2-7 so far), they can come home with a series win by defeating the Pirates this evening.

Where do the Royals go from here?

Bullpen- The bullpen is a question mark for most teams and the Royals aren't any different. It's ok though, we have Dayton Moore and he can build a bullpen using play-dough. Soria could bring in a lot of talent and I firmly believe another closer can be found somewhere. The question is wheth...

End Citrus Series and Interleague Play Once and for All

If Major League Baseball wants to keep Mets/Yankees, Cubs/White Sox, Giants/A's, and Dodgers/Angels, fine, even though those matchups have run their course too, but why subject fans to watch other horrible matchups out there? Who wants to see a pitcher hit too?

WANNA SEE THE SOX WIN? GO TO BALTIMORE

Lester improved to 3-1 in June with a 1.80 ERA, combining for a shutout with Delcarmen, Okajima, Ramirez, and Papelbon. He struck out 8, but managed his pitch count brilliantly, going deeper into the game than he's gone since June 12th, which I think was the last time I saw the sun.
