Picture it: A rainy evening in early April in Chicago, and the South Siders are fresh off their first victory of the season against the Atlanta Braves of all teams. Spirits are high, and the boys are eager to take it to the Braves again as they attempt to claw their way back towards .500. It was not to be of course, as rain would wash away Chicago’s chance at consecutive victories and its first series win of the year.
Fast-forward to late June and to this sunny, balmy afternoon makeup game between two teams headed in opposite directions.
