After a game on Saturday night in which the offense obliterated the other team’s pitching once again, the Chicago Cubs played a somewhat normal 4-2 baseball game on Sunday afternoon, complete with a bullpen that didn’t give up any runs (I know, seems hard to believe). Unfortunately, the Cubs still lost as the offense couldn’t get much going. At 2-7, the club certainly hasn’t had it’s best showing to start the season. But in spite of the angst and pessimism? There may be every so faint sign of a turnaround.
While it seems for many a Cubs’ fan that the proverbial sky is falling, the bullpen is imploding nightly (yesterday, notwithstanding), and Joe Maddon doesn’t know what he’s doing, it could be much, much worse.
