Lets see ...
No runs in overflow 1, then 1 run in overflow 2, so how about 2 runs this thread?!

missed two calls. one in the first inning calling kosuke out at second on force play.
len called it worst call he has ever seen. than when we were on field on a routine double play ball he ruled theriots foot came off the bag when it was very very close – so we only got the runner at first. You couldn’t even tell if his foot was off the bag or not on replay.

It is possible the Cubs are going to give up only two runs
in each game this series, and lose two of three. What a frustrating, and in many respects, sad season so far.

That was pretty similar to the old losing streak
The pitching was good enough to win, but the offense was asleep at the wheel.

And there is nothing Hendry can really do
he can only upgrade at one spot in the middle infield because he has saddled himself with some of the worst contracts in the game. If he hadnt, guys like Nate McLouth could have been available to him.

Yep, the amount of money tied up in non-producers

yes. I can blame him for doing it when everyone else on the planet knew he shouldn't
