On two very warm days on the North Side of Chicago, some very sloppy baseball has been played. Fortunately, the Cubs are catching the Padres during a downswing in their metamorphosis into a competitive team. That team on the other side has quite a bit of talent and I’m seeing a team that will be a force to be reckoned with, probably sooner than later.
Alas, two games in, the Cubs have two wins. That runs them up to a four game winning streak, seven of eight coming out of the break and nine of 11 dating back to before the break.
