If you’ve been around baseball long enough — and most here have, I’d think — you’ll recognize the headline here as coming from the very quotable Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel. Stengel said it during spring training for his very first Mets team, the 1962 club which wound up losing 120 games.
The 2022 Chicago Cubs aren’t that bad. At least I don’t think they are, not even after Tuesday’s 12-5 loss to the Padres at Wrigley Field, their eighth consecutive defeat. During the streak the Cubs have been outscored 62-24, and over the last four games it’s 42-10.
