It’s hard to believe the lights first went on at Wrigley Field 37 years ago, though I suppose a lot of fans are still sensing those same dark clouds looming over the team. Maybe being in St. Louis will help. Wow, that’s probably the first time someone strung those particular words together. The Cardinals are fading in the division and just pieced out the back end of their bullpen, so it’s a good chance for the Cubs to gain a little momentum.
Doing so sure would help to align fans’ perception a little more closely with the perspective that the Cubs haven’t actually been playing bad baseball.
