One down. I dubbed this “get greedy” week. The Cubs have five games this week. They’ll certainly all be winnable. When you go on the road, .500 or better is plenty acceptable. A 3-2 trip is necessarily a fine result. I’ve been around too long to fall for the must-win game or must-win series stuff. But I’m certainly pointing out that the very fine homestand against two teams, with winning records and in the fight for the respective division titles, means a heck of a lot more if they can carry it forward.
I’m looking for four wins.
