MLB’s schedule rules put the Cubs at a real competitive disadvantage this weekend

Just last week, the Cubs had to endure another rainout because the Braves wouldn’t schedule a getaway-day game in the afternoon (apparently because schools are still in session — they’ve got several afternoon getaway-day games later in the year). The Cubs weren’t happy about that:

Cubs not thrilled this is a night game, btw. Getaway day. Was told something re day games here during the week. Parking or traffic a problem. New ball park in a business district

The Cubs are likely even less happy about this weekend’s schedule.
