The Cubs head to St. Louis to close out the year with games that matter naught to the Cubs, but matter much to the Cardinals.
Nick Castellanos was a late scratch in this one (groin), so the Cubs’ lineup gets a little weaker. Sorry-not-sorry Brewers.
Tonight’s game is the final broadcast on WGN, which evokes strong memories from folks like me, who grew up watching the Cubs on the Superstation back in the ’90s.
April 16, 1948: @WGNTV broadcasts its first #Cubs game.
