The Wife and I are planning to go to today’s Cubs/Reds game, but, of course, the weather looks awful. We’ll still go and roll the dice, but severe storms are predicted right around game time.

Surprise: the White Sox series did not magically fix all that ails the Cubs. They will have to fundamentally improve over a much, much, much longer trajectory for us to feel any kind of confidence that they can actually get...
