No easy homecoming

Looking at the Cubs schedule before the season, a mid-June series against Tampa Bay looked like the perfect pick-me-up if the Cubs ever needed to break out of a slump.

Well, the Cubs obviously have avoided any serious droughts and the Rays are finally playing like an organization that belongs in Major League Baseball. Heck, Tampa Bay could even be the team that actually starts a Cubs drought.

It’s even gotten to the point where the almighty New York Yankees are fishing excuses for chasing Tampa Bay’s rear. 

Anyway, Tampa Bay welcomes back Lou Piniella and Larry Rothschild as the Cubs welcome back their red-headed stepchild Matt Murton.
