The wheels aren’t falling off yet, from the Cubs’ postseason hopes, but you can feel them wobbling.
The 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on a gorgeous early fall afternoon at Wrigley Field could have, and probably should have, turned into a win on several different occasions.
Don’t blame the bullpen, blame once again the inability of the Cubs offense to generate runs when they had many, many chances. They left 10 men on base and were 1-for-9 with RISP and there’s the story of this game. The pitching was good enough to win.
