I’ve been here for two days and it still hasn’t quite sunk in that the Cubs are playing actual baseball games in London. The fan takeover event in Trafalgar Square is pretty cool, but having it so far away from the venue for the games kind of maintains the cognitive dissonance. That will all change this evening, however, as the first game gets underway.
Having two days off allowed David Ross to reconfigure his rotation, setting Justin Steele up to start the first game. He’s plenty rested after a recent IL stint and will surely be hyped for this outing.
