Today the simCubs start a homestand with a three-game series against the NL East-leading Washington Nationals, with Jon Lester scheduled to take the hill against Stephen Strasburg. Brandon Palmer has a few words about this series in his interview, and Al will have more information about the game in the game post at 2:30 pm CT, Tuesday, for our 3 p.m. start. I’ll drop the specific URL to the contest in the game thread, but you can lurk at the BCB Media Center and catch it there as well.
