The Cubs were rained out in Chicago on Sunday and in New York on Monday, so they now face a stretch of eleven games in three cities over the next ten days. Not ideal, especially considering the state of the starting rotation. Edward Cabrera will take the mound for the North Siders on Tuesday, but the Cubs have not announced their starters for any subsequent games.
Sunday's rainout against the Jays has been rescheduled as a day game on August 6, which was previously an off day for both teams.
The series against the Mets kicks off Tuesday night, followed by a day/night doubleheader on Wednesday that includes the makeup game for Monday's rainout. Thursday's series finale – on a getaway day – is a night game. (When I'm commissioner, all getaway day games will be day games, but I digress...).
The road trip wraps up this weekend in Milwaukee before the Men in Blue return to the Friendly Confines for a six-game homestand against the Padres and Cardinals.

77 games down, 85 to go.
Go Cubs go!
