So much information, so many possibilities, look at that guy's WHIP! I want him, why can't we get him?!?! Uh, I think I need a ...

After missing history at Miller Park Sunday night, I was not going to stand idly by as the Cubs took on the Astros once again Monday afternoon. Come cheese or high water, nothing would stop me from paying my penance to the baseball gods.
