On Saturday, it will be an awkward homecoming for Chicago Cubs manager Craig Counsell. Counsell is a local Milwaukee area boy who made good. Also, Counsell was the winningest manager in Milwaukee Brewers history. But during the baseball betting odds offseason, Counsell was made an offer he could not refuse by the Chicago Cubs. So off he went to the arch-rival of his former hometown team. Milwaukee has continued to lead the NL Central without Counsell. At the same time, the Cubs are struggling to stay out of the basement. On Saturday, the Brewers host the Cubs on FS1.
