Cubs 5, Diamondbacks 1: A perfect summer afternoon

The Cubs are going nowhere this October but home, but even with the team struggling, Sunday was just about a perfect day at Wrigley Field.

The weather was gorgeous, mid-80s with a nice breeze off Lake Michigan, the kind of July day we wish we could bottle up and let out in January when Chicago could really use it.

And the Cubs played near-flawless baseball in defeating the Diamondbacks 5-1 and taking a series at Wrigley for the first time since they swept the Cardinals in mid-June.

The Cubs didn’t waste any time getting on the board in this one.
