Cubs first under review

Thursday’s 7 p.m. Cubs-Phillies game at Wrigley Field will be the first official MLB game under the newly approved instant replay system.

Does this go hand-in-hand with MLB’s push to speed up game-play?

It’s possible. Instead of having a manager storm out of the dugout to dispute a close home run decision for five to seven minutes, the review system could limit the confusion to only a couple of minutes. 

Then again, don’t think Lou Piniella will hesitate to argue with a TV monitor if a Cubs’ basket shot is reversed.
