Critical game for the Cubs. Need to show that they can build off of momentum from a big win.

Replay doesn't work. Catcher's mitt doesn't work. Starting outfielder Parra about to be out of work. Struggle bus at Coors Field for the Rockies right now.

Blackmon is dangerous in this spot. Any guy with a walk-up song by The Outfield should be a pitcher's nightmare.

Gotta love games at Coors Field. Home Run Derby should take place there every year. Would last at least 36 hours.

So if Parra's suspension is upheld, can the Cubs demand a replay if they lose??? ??????

Gotta love the million-dollar effort by Parra in right field on that bloop single. Hey, Manfred, can his suspension be extended for loafing?

Hopefully, Maddon will give the Almora-Baez combo a decent chance at the top of the order. He has to like what he's seeing, and Happ isn't the answer batting leadoff.

6 multi-hit performers for the Cubs tonight. 15 runs, 16 hits and 13 RBI. Safe to say the multitudinous off days over the course of the past week rejuvenated the Cubs' dormant offense.
