I had a few different topics knocking around in what’s left of my brain, so I decided to conglomerate them rather than subjecting everyone to three separate posts. Maybe this will keep me on task as well. The Cubs enter Wednesday’s action with a chance to sweep the Marlins and keep the red-hot Redbirds out of first place. Winners of nine straight, the Cardinals are just 1.5 games back and have a doubleheader against the Phillies after being rained out on Tuesday.
The Cubs have won all seven (true) home series openers, but they’re 1-5 in the final games of those same sets.
