We’re going to move quickly on this one yet again, but I hope to get back to more in-depth breakdowns after this weekend. My daughter just graduated high school — summa cum laude, class president, etc — and her open house is this afternoon. Meanwhile, my son has had four baseball games in the last two days and will play at least one more today. Monday should offer a much-needed reprieve.
Not for the Cubs, though, as they still have seven more games after this one before getting their second (and last) day off in June. Winning on Sunday would be big because it would mean eight straight series wins, but doing so on the road against the team with the best record in baseball carries more weight.
