Welcome to another edition of Cub Tracks — I could have chosen either of Javy’s two homers but I’m still on the Ian Happ encouragement train, so I went with that. Cubs win — not many bad choices there.
In our previous installment, Cub Tracks unpacked no business like snow business, happy birthday, Rifleman, rush to judgement, and other bullets. Today we bring you news from the home front, where the Cubs brought the lumber, building a large lead en route to a 13-5 shellacking of the Pittsburgh Pirates, who likely won’t be on top of the division for much longer.
