The Rundown: Cubs Blasted in Brew City, Happ Hurt(ish), Ballesteros Up, Trade Market Stagnant

“Burn it up, let’s go for broke. Watch the night go up in smoke.”Rock of Ages by Def Leppard

The Cubs have looked like a third-place team through two games in Brew City, and it doesn’t get any easier today. Shu014dta Imanaga will have to be at his best because he’s facing Freddy Peralta, and Chicago needs a win to avoid being swept. Meanwhile, the Brew Crew is having a blast and the disheveled Cubs are playing like they dropped a load in their drawers. Last night’s 9-3 loss wasn’t as close as the score indicates, and it was so bad I switched over to Netflix for my third viewing of Happy Gilmore 2.
