Cubs can't hit worth a ....

[Fred Hornkohl]

Duncan struck out swinging

[UMFan83]

I've never seen a GM miss so badly on all his offseason pickups. OK, OK its early and too soon to tell completely but...

 

Gathright

Miles

Bradley

Gregg

Vizcaino

Patton

 

Heilman has been ok but the rest, wow

[Fred Hornkohl]

Molina doubled (ground rule) down the right field line

I wish they'd kick out every fan who touches a live ball. Idiots.

Demp definitely pitched well enough to win tonight if he played for a better team.

this is painful

 

The worst is that the last three starts (assuming Dempster is done or gives up no more runs, a questionable assumption) have been quality (I believe yesterday there was a fourth, unearned run), but the offense has been atrocious.

 

Edit: not that this isn't common knowledge, but just makes it all the more painful.
