OSS: The Rockies can’t figure out Mike Montgomery and Trevor Cahill is a sentence I expected to write Three up: Mike Montgomery was great in his first start with the Cubs, and surprisingly efficient. I didn’t get into the game until the top of the third due to big lines (and spotting a ramen place as I was trying to …

Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (77-43) at Colorado Rockies (58-63)
I’ve got tickets to the first few games of this series, and waited until late to buy them figuring there would be plenty available even with the Cubs juggernaut rolling in to town. But the Rockies decided to be kind of good a few weeks back, even surfacing for a few gasps of air at the .500 mark earlier this …

Cubs 6, Brewers 1 (8.17.16)
OSS: Cubs turn it into a snoozer early Three up: The Cubs scored five times in the first inning, forcing Jimmy Olsen to throw a Simon-esque number of pitches to get out of the inning. Even Heyward got a hit, on a disintegrating bat double. Jorge Soler capped off the inning with a laser beam to left that drove in …

Cubs 4, Brewers 0; Cubs 4, Brewers 1 (8.16.16)
OSS: Cubs were three outs away from back-to-back shutouts in a single day. Three to six up: After struggling in the PCL for the past month during his rehab, Cahill had no trouble handling the Brewers lineup. As Josh pointed out, the average PCL lineup might be better (dying laughing). Given that his longest start at Iowa was four innings, …

Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers (52-64) at Chicago Cubs (73-43)
The Brewers come to town to close out this homestand, and the teams get started with a double-header to make up for a rainout back in April. When last we checked in, the Brewers were bad. Checking again….they’re still pretty bad. They traded catcher Jonathan Lucroy and closer Jeremy Jeffress at the deadline but they didn’t have that much to …
