Series Preview: Chicago Cubs (0-2) at Arid Zone Diamondbacks (0-0)
We are back again! And not at 4am! Hopefully the results are a little better than Tokyo. The Cubs face a less daunting task than they did against the Dodgers, but the Dbacks are also a very good team. Somehow the Dbacks lined things up such that their big free agent signing, Corbin Burnes, is *not* starting in this four …

Series Preview: Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles (0-0) “at” Chicago Cubs (0-0)
Baseball! It’s back! At 4am (my time)! It’s been a pretty cool vicarious experience to see the Cubs in Japan, maybe I should try to spend less than a decade before I return next time*. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves, including Shota and Seiya in their unofficial roles as hosts. Both teams were shut out by the Hanshin Tigers …
