Finding new ways to lose
This is getting ridiculous. The Cubs lose a game in the 11th without giving up a hit. Three walks (1 intentional) and a hit batsman result in a heart-breaking 2-1 lose. The only saving grace is that Milwaukee keeps losing so we don’t fall farther behind. We’re just wasting great opportunities to gain ground.
An extra-inning loss like this makes it an even longer plane ride home from California. At least the Cubs have a game tomorrow, so they don’t have long to think about all of those missed opportunities. I’ll be at tomorrow’s Memorial Day game against the Marlins. I just hope I bring them better luck (and weather) than the last time I was there.
