Chicago Cubs: We didn’t lose because of Craig Kimbrel last night

Last night’s Chicago Cubs loss might have been one of the toughest to take this season. With a chance to tie the Milwaukee Brewers for first place (How is that even possible?), the Cubs let one slip away in the ninth. The Cubs brought in their big acquisition Craig Kimbrel to close it out–and he didn’t. So it’s clearly his fault. While he gave up the walk that put the tying run on, that’s not entirely the case.

Let’s go back to earlier on the day. On Wednesday, Theo Epstein did an interview on 670 The Score on the McNeil and Parkins show–and Epstein pulled no punches when talking about the Cubs recent play.
