When the year 2023 is in the books, we might look back at Wednesday as the nicest weather day of the entire year in Chicago — temperatures around 80, a nice breeze, unlimited sunshine, low humidity. We don’t get those very often ‘round these parts, and certainly not in April.
I’m talking about the weather largely because that was the best thing about Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field. Certainly it wasn’t the Cubs baseball, where four Mariners pitchers stymied most Cubs bats, and after Marcus Stroman had a pretty good outing, the bullpen did not have a good day.
