Why Can't We Win

Are you freakin' kidding me? The Cubs just got swept by the woeful Houston Astros. The silver lining is the Brewers got swept by the Rockies but still, we lost three in a row to the'stros.

Aside from Rich Hill on Monday, the starting pitching was horrible. Big Z stunk up the joint tonight, allowing 7 runs in 5 2/3 innings. He also broke a bat over his knee after striking out with the bases loaded in the third. Why does he do that? It is stupid, I realize he is an emotional guy but he is also a Cub, isn't that sort of tempting fate? He is our ACE, imagine if he got hurt breaking a bat over his knee, come on Carlos, THINK!

The Pitching looked solid compared to the impotent offense, I say impotent because they played without wood with runners in scoring position. For the series with RISP the Lovable Ones went 2-33. Seriously, 2-33. Tonight's 13 men left on base ran that total to 23 in the series. Wow. That Sucks.

Let's hope that sweet, thin Colorado air will give the Baby Bears bats a boost. Ted Lilly goes tomorrow and something tells me he is in for a pounding, I hope I'm wrong but I am seldom am.

Boo Brewers, Boo Birds.
