N.L. Central Update

The Chicago Cubs have 60 likely, not all that meaningful regular season games to play, before they bid for at least their first pennant in 71 years, if not their first title in 108 annums.

Chi, which started (37-14), is (62-40), which is the best record in baseball.

They can go (122-40) and still not have home field in the World Series as that goes to the American League pennant winner, as determined by an exhibition game, the All-Star Game.

One of the 60 games is tomorrow vs the Seattle Mariners and Wrigley Field will not, but I do salute birthday girl Joan, whom I know is in “The Windy City.”
