"The Beginning" Has Ended
"The Beginning" Has Ended
Let's hop into the time machine and go back to my April 7th post : I call this series, "The Beginning" because it's the beginning of a stretch of games for the Cubs against a relatively easy schedule. They have the Phillies at the end of this week but over the next three weeks they play the Pirates Reds three times, and the Nationals three times. This is where the Cubs should start pushing
