I’m enjoying a long Memorial Day weekend at a cabin in central Michigan, so the Cubs aren’t renting prime real estate in my head. Their recent play has a role in that as well. That’s a good thing for my relaxation but terrible for anyone who’s depending on baseball as part of their own enjoyment.
That’s just my way of excusing myself from doing anything of note here. Javier Assad has been quite notable with a 4-0 record and sparkling 1.70 ERA, so maybe he’ll keep the Cardinals at bay long enough for the offense to build a lead the bullpen can actually protect.
