Cards need to sweep in Colorado today. Anything better than 1-3 in Chicago will be a bonus. That is a damn good team, they've already clinched the Division and will be playing loose and free. Nothing would be more satisfying to them than sweeping the Cards. I hope I'm wrong but I don't have the warm-fuzzies about playing them this weekend. They're going to face Arrieta on Friday, Hendricks on Sat and Hammel on Sunday. Ouch!! Let's hope the birds bring their A-game and some attitude...

The good news is I don't see Garcia in the rotation. Hopefully, he is getting treatment for headworms at some facility...
