WELCOME to today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™, a greatest-hits collection of Chicago-style beat writers and bloggers, ground from #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, overheated, steeped in writers’ tears, and then cold-brewed overnight for maximum flavor.
The Cubs brought their five-game wining streak into Saturday’s game against the mighty Dodgers. Jordan Wicks took the hill versus Yoshinobu Yamamoto, late of NPB. The National Weather Service says it was 46F at game time, clear and cold, with a balmy 9 mph NE breeze.
