The Cubs swept the Pirates and were temporarily tied for first place with the Cardinals (I’m not sure why I thought St. Louis was off yesterday, but we’ll call that a pre-senior moment) after yesterday’s 5-3 win. They’ll start a weekend series with the Reds tonight at what is sure to be a chilly Wrigley Field, so let’s hope the early spring conditions don’t send the Cubs bats back to their early April disposition.
