Let’s get this out of the way. The series with the Cardinals was really bad. The Cubs did not hit for three days and Wednesday’s game was horrible, without pulling any punches it sucked and was inexcusable. Now that’s been said, it’s a new day and that is exactly how the Cubs will approach Thursday … and the upcoming 11-game road trip.
The Cubs theme for the trip to Miami is “It’s The Anthony Rizzo Who Wears Short Shorts? Anthony Wears Short Shorts Road Trip.” Players and coaches are “required to wear shorts, a short-sleeved sport coat and either a tank top or no shirt and if they wanted to wear flip flops the players had to paint their toenails.
