Cubs 11, Twins 10: That ‘70s show

If you are too young to have experienced the Cubs in the 1970s, when the team played 20 games at Wrigley Field where both teams scored 10 or more runs, Sunday’s 11-10 Cubs win over the Twins was reminiscent of those days, with the wind howling out and questionable pitching on both sides.

The result was much better than those days, though; the 1970s Cubs went 4-16 in those 20 games. This time, the Cubs hung on in a game they led by eight runs entering the fifth inning and swept the Twins. I mean, seriously, you have to feel a bit sorry for Twins fans.
