No more bitching about the Cubs’ lack of scoring, at least for today, because they are in the land of milk and honey when it comes to busting slumps. And no, I don’t mean Murphy’s Bleachers on any given Friday night from 1988-2000. The Cubs are a mile high and should be able to get drunk on runs at Coors Field against a substandard Rockies pitching staff.
Even better, they’re sending Cade Horton to the mound. Yes, the man with the 0.49 ERA in seven second-half starts. Horton has yet to yield more than one run in any of those games, all but one of which have seen him go at least five innings.
