This isn’t going to be a typical recap, because honestly, I don’t think anybody wants to read about this game. Monday night was yet another time the Cubs made a series of sloppy mistakes to give away a contest they had no business losing.
It is almost uncanny the number of times the obvious flaws in Jed Hoyer’s roster expose themselves at the worst possible moments to sabotage potential victories. In this case, catcher’s interference by Miguel Amaya began a rally that was accelerated by another disaster-piece performance from ”closer” Héctor Neris, who eventually surrendered the game-winning dinger.
