Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (0-0) at Miami Marlins (0-0)
Baseball. It's back! The Cubs kick off the season with a warmup four game set against the Marlins, widely expected to be a disaster this year. Derek Jeter's calm eyes have overseen a PR debacle as the Marlins sold off everything that wasn't nailed down, only because they couldn't find a buyer for the nails. The only surprise is that JT Realmuto is still wearing a Marlins uniform, though I guess anything can happen in the 12 hours between my writing this and the start of the game.
