CHICAGO _ Jose Quintana's sheepish shrug suggested he was lost Friday morning.
Probably because he was.
The Cubs' new left-hander wandered right past his locker before a bystander pointed him in the right direction in Quintana's first trip to the home clubhouse at Wrigley Field.
Quintana, acquired from the White Sox last week, responded with a chuckle and an appreciative nod as he took his spot next to Albert Almora Jr.'s stall.
"Just a few more minutes to the ballpark, a different way," Quintana said. "Today was my first day going (to the ballpark) in a different direction. I enjoyed that. Lake Shore Drive was fun.
"My wife said, 'You can sleep now.' I'm having a dream."
Ask Quintana what's new, and his answer is, basically everything _ new team, new route to work, new clubhouse. But the game remains the same to the quiet Colombian who dazzled in his Cubs debut Sunday, allowing no runs, three hits and no walks and striking out 12 in seven innings.
His next scheduled start is Sunday against the Cardinals, meaning he would not start any of the four games next week against his former team, the White Sox.
Quintana said such a scenario would have been tough but that he's focused on the Cardinals.
