Cubs Implode on ESPN
As if things weren’t bad enough. Now the Cubs have totally embarrassed themselves on ESPN Sunday Night baseball. Things were rolling along quite smoothly, the Cubs held a 5-2 lead going into the 6th inning. Marshall was pitching great. Then it all turned, FOR THE WORSE.
The nightmare started with Todd Walker bobbling a weak ground ball allowing a runner on first. Delgado then blooped one to center, and Pierre couldn’t make the play (no range!). Then Wright blooped a single to RF to load them up. And what do you know, Cliff Floyd decides to drop a granny bomb on them. Ouch. 6-5 Mets.
It gets worse. Walker drops a throw from Aramis to keep the inning going. The bases get juiced again. Ground ball to Aramis. Brilliant as he is, he decides to go home with it first. Out at home, safe at first. Inning continues. Should have turned the convential 5-4-3 double play Errormis! Up comes Beltran. GONE. Second grand slam in the inning. 11-5 Mets. Delgado then ropes a double. And Wright slams another bomb to make it 13-5 Mets and a horrid 11 run inning.
Thoughts to take out of this: Get rid of Walker. Baker is all but gone. Is this the worst Cubs team in the last decade? I think so.
