The Wife and I were going to take in today’s game in Cincinnati together … so of course the forecast is for massive thunderstorms throughout the day.
If the game goes off, we’ll be there – look for the blue BN shirt and blue and yellow shoes, and say hey.
Jake Arrieta gets the start for the Cubs as they try to figure out Anthony DeSclafani this time around. Last time out, 11 days ago, he went seven innings and gave up bupkis to the Cubs.
