• Three up, three down: An update on the Cubs, April 22 edition

David Banks-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs had a rough week, though there were still some highlights. Since we last met in the “Three up, three down” space here a week ago, the Cubs are 4-3. That’s ... not awful. But it seems a lot worse, doesn’t it? It’s clear that the team misses the offense provided by Seiya Suzuki, who is likely out at least three more weeks. Guys are just going to have to ...2024
