It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was a week of light, it was a week of darkness. I can’t verify that Dickens was referencing this week’s matchup between the Cubs and Rockies, but I can’t rule it out either. Because as we enter Tuesday’s opening game of this series, it really is a tale of two teams.
While the Cubs are in the midst of one of the most difficult stretches of their season, the Rockies enter as one of baseball’s hottest teams. Winners of eight in a row, the Blake Street Bombers have fought their way back to relevance over the last week.
