Seriously, screw this. Every year, the same crap, in a few different flavors. If it's not leaving runners on base, or the bullpen walking the park, it's flying out to the warning track 15 times a game.
All Russell had to do was keep Alvarez in the park and he couldn't do that. Amazing. Also, I would've been OK with LVB bunting right away, but after being ahead in the count? Jesus. Team couldn't get less lucky.
Let's go streaking! Rick Renteria has already said Olt and Lake will be in the lineup so let's hope they both show they want to play everyday. A series win would be nice, as would pulling back to within a game of .500 Fun Rizzo stats: 10-19 (.526) at home in 2014. Go Cubs!
