Can’t anybody here play this game? — Casey Stengel
Those words were, allegedly, spoken by the Hall of Fame manager during spring training in 1962 with the Mets, when he was gobsmacked by the incredible lack of talent in front of him.
Now, the 2019 Cubs are clearly better than the 1962 Mets, and there’s plenty of talent on this team.
That said, there are still some giant (no pun intended) holes to be filled in this bizarre Cubs summer, and one of them was on dramatic display in the 13th inning of the Cubs’ 5-4 loss to the Giants Tuesday evening.
