Chicago Cubs Folding? Wouldn't Be the First Time

Cocky Contreus hits a long ball. He stands at home plate admiring his long fly ball thinking it was a homer. I wasn't. If he had started running hard when he hit the ball as is common practice, he would have made made it to third base and scored when the next batter hit a fly ball. A good throw from the outfield would have had him out at 2nd base.

The Cubs seem to have lost their mojo. Murphy is a big flop (goes in to 2nd base standing up and is easy out) and Rizzo is phizzo and Bryant is whizzo in the clutch. There must be dissension in the clubhouse from the starting pitchers who are pitching quite well but getting little hitting support/

The Cubs hitters have now flopped in 31 games, scoring 1 or 0 runs. Their upcoming road trip will probably determine if they win their weak division. All my bets are still on with no takers so I'll withdraw the one that says they won't make the playoffs and increase my bet to 3 or my farms that they won't appear in this years World Series.

Or next year and the next unless management unloads and reloads with men who can hit in the clutch. These hitters load up on batting practice pitchers but CAN'T HIT GOOD PITCHING.

Madddon says"he can't hit for the batters" or run the basses for them, but wasn't he the major one who selected them??
