Has any Cub team ever gotten more than the 36 HR's that this team has gotten out of this years rookies?

And will this record be eclipsed next season?

Asking for a friend.
Just a sloppy, undisciplined team.  Garbage.

Does anyone have a theory as to why Edwin Jackson is a starting pitcher  on the roster?

Because he's owed a lot of money

He is going to be owed money whether they use him or not.  Why add insult to injury?

At this point, he's draft pick protection.

I really hope today was the last time we'll ever see him in a Cubs uniform.
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

Well he'll probably be sitting in the dugout and stuff.
I will vow, for the sake of peace, not to complain about David Ross between now and his first start next year- 10/26/2015

And excellent at it.  I'd be in favor of him making every start the rest of the season.  Not every fifth day, I mean every day.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Why not? He's putting up a relief pitcher's pitch counts anyway.
