Hurricane Ike Is Apparently A Really Big Cubs Fan
It’s starting to look like even God wants the Chicago Cubs to win the NL Central this year, as Hurricane Ike has forced the postponement of at least the first two games of a three game set between the Cubs and Astros in Houston. The Cubs have struggled as of late and could use the days to regroup, while the Astros have been blazing hot and are losing momentum. With Ike’s damage still being sorted out, contingency plans are being made to get the games in.
One plan has the Astros, who have won 14 out of 15 and are just three games out of the wild card lead, giving up the home games and having the series played at the “neutral” site of Milwaukee’s Miller Park. Unsurprisingly, the Astros aren’t really having any of that.
