Welcome to today’s edition of Cub Tracks news and notes™, a greatest-hits collection of Chicago-style beat writers and bloggers, ground from #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, overheated, steeped in writers’ tears, and then cold-brewed overnight for maximum flavor.
Cubs analyst/former ESPN analyst/former Cub Rick Sutcliffe is an unabashed Cubs homer. I like it. I like him — he’s several times replied to tweets, and has been gracious every time. I met him once, and he was kind and amusing, telling a story about his Cubs years.
