ALBUQUERQUE — Greetings from New Mexico, where I’m making my first stop on the way back to Chicago from Arizona.
I’m glad you all liked this morning’s April Fool article, and I only wish this recap of a frustrating 6-0 Cubs loss to the Marlins was something I could take back and say “Only joking!”
Let me give some credit where it’s due first. This Marlins team is not nearly as bad as I thought, or most thought, it would be. They’ve got some good young players — Lewis Brinson is going to be a star in this league, and it looks like their rookie catcher Chad Wallach (son of former Montreal Expo Tim Wallach, who’s a Marlins coach) is a keeper.
