But indications are that Braves-Cubs will play as scheduled tonight pic.twitter.com/tPY981qAzL Tonight is Authentic Fan Night at Wrigley Field! Tweet us your photos showing your @Cubs fandom with #AuthenticFan for a chance to see yourself in tonight’s broadcast on @NBCSChicago! Lester batting ninth tonight. First two AB’s yesterday for Hamels, in the 8-hole, came with runners on and two outs. Perhaps it swayed Maddon the other way? The MLB season is roughly half finished, yet only five teams are within 5.5 games of first place in their division --and four play in the NL Central. Crazy. Another example of @ARizzo44 giving back to our community. Tonight he is hosting 150 kids from Lurie Children’s Hospital for a pre game party and amazing seats for tonight’s Braves vs Cubs game. @Cubs pic.twitter.com/LVhCgvDKNN
