Monday’s Cubs home opener was played in conditions not really suitable for baseball. It was 43 degrees at game time — bad enough — but then around the sixth inning it started raining, making conditions miserable for fans and players alike.
The weather forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday isn’t any better, in fact, likely worse, with rain AND snow predicted. As MLB did a year ago, they have scheduled multiple teams to come to Wrigley Field in April who only come in once — Rockies, Dodgers, Marlins and Astros. The Cubs don’t play a NL Central team at home — in fact, at all — until May 3, when the Brewers visit Wrigley.
