Back to the Chicago Cubs Newsfeed

Looking back on the Cubs' rain-filled weekend in Washington D.C.

Well, the Cubs have surely experienced better weekends of baseball.

The weekend seemed to be starting on a positive note for the Cubs following back-to-back 6-4 wins over the Brewers (Wednesday) and Nationals (Thursday). Thursday's win increased the Cubs' lead in the NL Central to 4.5 games over the idle Brewers.

Things mostly went downhill from there.

Friday night's game, which was scheduled to start at 6:05 p.m. CT. was delayed for more than an hour before finally getting underway. The game went into a delay again with two outs in the top of the second inning, an interruption that lasted two hours and 59 minutes before the game was postponed anyway.
