The Rundown: Of Near-Beers & Gambling, Crosstown Classic Comes to Friendly Confines, Báez, Contreras & La Stella Lead All-Star Voting

The Cubs had a day off yesterday so I actually decided to quarantine myself from all things baseball. I get frustrated at times, especially when the Cubs play inconsistently, and I just needed to walk away. I’m sure you’ve felt the same way. The Cubs need to do something about improving the way they play on the road.

But they start a homestand today when the White Sox come to Wrigley Field. The Crosstown Classic will bring some extra emotion during the two-game set because the South Siders have a much improved baseball product. As pops would say, “They’re on the come,” and indeed they are.
