The offense went to sleep. geh.

 

A very worrisome trait of the CUBS in recent years, no?

 

It is but,let's keep in mind that most of the regulars are out of the game.

 

True enough, but remember, we haven't had a hit since Murton lead off the 3rd with a double.

 

I hope this Padres team is a favorite to return to the playoffs. They seem to be making us look bad heading into the season, despite our 1-run lead today.
