David Adler

But who wouldn't?

look better than they did as a Colorado Rocky.

Later in the show, we will talk to Ryan Dempster.

We will talk to David Adler.

But for the first hour, joining me in studio is John Axford.

John, how we doing, buddy?

Yes, we would have had, I guess we still would have had Friday and Saturday's games to talk about.

But rain outs, what is a rain out like?

I was going to ask Dempster this later too, because the Cubs got double rained out.

They got rained out again yesterday.

So Shota Imanaga has had his start bumped twice now.

But yeah, what is a rain out day like from the player perspective?

Even the delay like that where they're not calling it, as a reliever, do you have a bit more of an advantage than the other guys?

Because at some point the game will start and then you have an hour and a half or two hours before you're going to get called on.

You can manage your snacking a little better than the starting pitcher or the two-hitter could?

Yeah, that's what the Jays got Sunday.

It was an early start for getaway day, and because the Cubs primarily play early starts anyway, it got canned, so they got back to Toronto early and won yesterday 4-2.

John, the fact that they are back to .500, while it is satisfying to look in the win-loss column and see them back to even, and it's better that they're in a playoff spot than not, given where the goals were for this season, this is just kind of a minor...

a minor thing to you rather than some sort of accomplishment at this point?

This dominant 500 team with a minus 23 run differential.
