TGIF, friends and thanks for another great week of baseball! As we head into the weekend’s “Rivalry Series,” a deeply silly spectacle, I’m curious (and you can take to the comments to sound off), who you think the Cubs’ actual main rival is, or if you agree with the geographical choice of the White Sox. (Personally, I feel like the Cardinals make more sense, but I know you guys will all have strong opinions on this one!)
There are a lot of bits and bites in today’s news, including the Reds celebrating Pete Rose (they might be the only ones); Corey Kluber heading back to Cleveland; and a very interesting story about a Diego Rivera painting that does connect to baseball.
