The Chicago Cubs seem to be suffering from a major case of homesickness.
I say that because, heading into Tuesday’s game at American Family Field in Milwaukee, the team carries a woeful 16-24 record away from Wrigley Field. That mark pales in comparison to Chicago’s 26-13 record at the Friendly Confines, where fans’ enthusiasm has powered the team in 2021.
Last year, signage covered the famous bleachers and artificial fan noise was pumped in. The team managed to sneak into the postseason, thanks largely in part to a scorching 13-3 start to the 60-game spring.
