SAN FRANCISCO — These get harder and harder to write. Like “Groundhog Day,” it’s the same thing over and over and over and for one thing, I just don’t understand why Craig Counsell keeps sending the same lineup out there every single day and expecting different results. Shake it up just to shake it up! Do a Joe Maddon “867-5309” lineup! How much worse could things be, Craig?
Sigh. The Cubs lost to the Giants 4-3 Wednesday evening, their fourth in a row and they have now lost 13 of 19 since that brief two-game sweep of the White Sox, which seems like it was about 10 years ago, doesn’t it?
