Here at CUB TRACKS NEWS AND NOTES™, we have news for you. The Cubs dropped one to the Diamondbacks Saturday afternoon at steamy Wrigley Field, where it was 20 degrees warmer than Tucson. Strange days indeed.
Kind of a lackluster game, on balance, given the protracted rain delay in the bottom of the ninth. I imagine most of the TV audience checked out before the game concluded (I had Pat and Ron going — they spent a lot of time with Bruce Levine). The Sheriff had a rare bad day in front of all of those scouts, so maybe the Cubs can keep him.
