“Last Sunday morning the sunshine felt like rain. The week before they all seemed the same.” – Allman Brothers Band, Ain’t Wastin’ Time No More
With yesterday’s 6-2 win, the Cubs took three of four from the Cardinals over the weekend, and while that’s usually a cause for rabid celebration, Chicago should have swept the series. They gave away Saturday’s game, the 25th time they’ve done that this year by my count. Many fans are pointing the finger at Craig Counsell, but I have two middle ones to thrust outward: One at Chicago’s mediocre bullpen and the other at Jed Hoyer for assembling that wreckage.
