For what might be the first time in this site’s history, I’m going to follow through on a plan to keep a column brief. That’s mostly thanks to the Cubs, who’ve done so little this week that I’m yet again pumping the well of Jed Hoyer’s Monday press conference.
We’ve all been hearing and hoping for the last few years that something would click for the offense, resulting in a juggernaut that could hang crooked numbers every game. Instead, the Cubs have ended up eating infrequent omelets after laying goose eggs, then repeating the process over and over.
