I had to do a double take last night because I swore the Cubs were playing a brand of baseball I haven’t seen since the old Billy Martin-George Steinbrenner Miller Lite commercial days. Was that an attempted hit and run I saw in the bottom of the 6th with Eric Sogard on first and pinch-hitter Matt Duffy at the dish? Martin would be proud of David Ross.
On a bitterly cold night where the home team could eke out a meager four hits, the Cubs edged the Mets 3-1.
