(The Sports Xchange) - Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon noted earlier this week how big Wrigley Field often seems to play.
Maddon changed his tune on Thursday after stiff southwesterly breezes helped the Cubs slug five home runs in a 9-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.
"It's incredible, isn't it?" he said. "If that game is played on another day with the wind blowing in, it's probably a one-run game. ... The ballpark turned around today and our guys took advantage of it.
