Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
If the Cubs plan to make a final push to win the NL Central, this weekend’s three-game set is where it needs to start. Why? After Sunday’s game, it’s a day off and then six road games to close the regular season. The Brewers, a game back in the loss column, finish with seven home games. Oh, and Milwaukee has the best home record in the National League.
As it turns out, the Cubs and the Pirates both juggled their rotations. Pittsburgh, knowing the Cubs struggle against lefties, has three penciled in. Revenge for the Aramis Ramirez trade? And Carlos Zambrano, who labored on short rest Tuesday, now has his usual four days between starts. Cubs fans hope it makes all the difference in the world.
Playoff baseball at Wrigley may well depend on it.
