A Chicago Cubs Community
The first game was a bit of a nail-biter as the Chicago Cubs only won by literal inches, but Saturday night’s game was a bit more satisfactory as the Cubs won pretty comfortably to take a 2-0 lead in the NLDS. I think the overhaul that the front office orchestrated Continue reading The Trade That Time Forgot
