That’s because the Cubs are historically, at least as long as I can remember, a pathetic clutch hitting team. Different teams, years, players, it doesn’t matter. They never enough of the reliable contact guys that don’t choke.

One loss already with Counsell not even sharp enough to find a closer better than a mediocre middle-reliever type. 95 mph fastball and a flat slider? Power hitters like Jankowski (2 homers in 3 years or something) tee off. Also, new year and same poor clutch hitting. Yes, the team avg will be around .240 after 2-3 games with 18 runs. But the rest of them are games we constantly watch Happ and most of the rest walk back to the dugout after another failed opportunity. Pathetic. Stop being so positive. This organization needs winners and I don’t know if we have many..
