“There’s evil in the air and there’s thunder in the sky, and a killer’s on the bloodshot streets.” – Meat Loaf, Bat Out of Hell
Can I leave this section empty due to frustration? Evan Altman already summed up the Cubs’ recent play pretty succinctly. Last night’s 7-6 loss to the Diamondbacks was as long and excruciating as a ballad by Meat Loaf.
If Friday night’s loss was crushing, yesterday’s was devastating. The silver lining is the Cubs still hold the second Wild Card spot, but they’ve lost the tiebreaker to the three teams that are within half a game.
