Is a reunion with a familiar face in order following another Cubs bullpen implosion Wednesday evening?
It has not been an excellent week for the Chicago Cubs who enter Thursday having lost their previous two series. Struggles have been scattered across the diamond resulting in their first-place lead shrinking before their very eyes.
Before their 7-6 loss at the hands of Detroit, the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Brewers opted to boycott their game. Major League Baseball wasn’t the only professional sports organization participating in sitting out as the NBA did so during their playoff tree.
