The headline to this recap is a famous phrase once uttered by Casey Stengel when watching his expansion Mets play, and this Cubs team might be worse than that one, and that’s no joke.
Zach Davies deserved better.
Frank Schwindel, who hit a bases-clearing double, deserved better.
Codi Heuer, in the first setup opportunity for a Cubs pitcher in 10 days, deserved better.
Heck, the whole Cubs team, not to mention we-the-fanbase, deserve better.
But all we got was another sad loss, the Cubs’ 10th straight, 5-4 to the Marlins, all five Miami runs unearned as a result of three errors by Sergio Alcántara, whose strength is supposed to be his fielding.
