The good news for me is that I didn’t watch this one. I sure picked a good evening for alternative entertainment. I resisted it in the headlines, but I’ve watched way too much football not to make the joke that the Bears Cubs defense held the Bengals Reds to just four field goals but the offense could only muster a late touchdown. I feel so witty.
The first truly bad start of the year results in a lopsided loss. Of course the other pretty bad start resulted in the season’s other loss. Given how bad the bullpen is, the Cubs have been as good as their starting pitching is on any given night.
