The Cubs picked up another win last night and now have a chance to ensure a series victory in Miami as they continue to do just enough to keep their playoff odds from collapsing entirely. This is kind of an odd game, at least for me, because it’s in the middle of the afternoon on a day when I’ve got a whole lot going on. My daughter’s 18th birthday is on Monday and my father-in-law turned 73 today, so we’re having dinner to celebrate both. What’s more, my son has a baseball workout and a birthday party to attend.
