Here at CUB TRACKS NEWS AND NOTES™, we have news for you. Having experienced the dizzying heights of a two-game winning streak and a series win, the NooCubs scheduled Zach Davies to pitch Friday, with sadly predictable results. Davies might have been better to serve the bolognese. Also, the world is a vampire. One needs garlic bread. It’s sub-optimal.
Anyway Keegan Thompson returned from the cornfields to start Saturday’s matinee. He’s been effective in Iowa, parlaying his cheese and sides into four scoreless starts, though none of them stretched him more than four innings and change.
