Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Bombs were flying out of Wrigley Field in an 11-3 rout of the Cardinals. Heroes and Goats warning, this is one of those days where WPA might feel less than entirely satisfying. Something I’ve said for so long that I was saying it before I was even the one writing this feature. When the game gets lopsided quickly, whatever happens first tends to set the order...2025
