2021, of course, has become a lost season for the Chicago Cubs after the trade deadline selloff.
But just for one night, we could pretend that the Cubs were the solid team perhaps playoff-worthy and the White Sox were the one going down meekly, instead of the 2021 reality of things being the other way around.
And you know, perhaps the Cubs really do have a couple of really good scrap heap finds in Patrick Wisdom and Rafael Ortega. Wisdom homered twice for the second straight game and Ortega’s grand slam put a cap on a five-run fourth that helped the Cubs to a 7-0 win over the White Sox.
