Al Yellon created Bleed Cubbie Blue and has been its managing editor since 2005. His latest book about the Cubs is "Chicago Cubs Firsts." Find him on Bluesky at @bleedcubbieblue.bsky.social
This edition of “Three up, three down” is running on Tuesday rather than its usual Monday slot due to Monday’s Memorial Day holiday. The games included here are last week’s six-game road trip. Monday’s game against the Rockies will be included in next week’s edition.
The Cubs’ 4-2 road trip was definitely a success, although I wouldn’t recommend falling way behind until the sixth inning on a regular basis.
