After a whirlwind of a week, the Cubs had a much-needed day off yesterday.
An “easy” stretch begins today, with a home series against the depleted Brewers, followed by a weekend series against the White Sox. The Pirates and Cardinals will be facing off against each other, so maybe the Cubs can make up some ground on at least one of them.
Tonight, Dan Haren makes his second start as a Cub. The Cubs haven’t been great this season on games following a day off. Let’s hope they can change that.
Hot Smokies
The Tennessee Smokies continue to play well, as they won last night.
