## Resource

The Chicago Cubs dropped a disappointing home series this weekend to their longtime rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals. We'll break down what went wrong, the biggest moments from the series, and what the Cubs need to do to get back on track as the All-Star break gets closer. There was at least one bright spot for Cubs fans: Pete Crow-Armstrong was officially named a National League All-Star reserve, capping off an outstanding first half of the season. We'll discuss what this recognition means for PCA and why he's become such an important part of the Cubs' roster. 312 SPORTS PRO SHOP: https://bit.ly/4e7bqyv The Best Replacement Windows And Doors At The Best Price.
