What can I say?
The Dodgers look like a team that won 97 games not the Cubs. They couldn't hit and they couldn't field!
Zambrano pitched well enough to win, but had no help defensively. 2 errors in the 2nd inning one should have been an inning ending double play. Lee booted a routine grounder UGH! Ramirez and Theriot then contributed their errors a little later. The bats didn't come alive till the 9th inning and then only briefly. So far this series has been hard to watch and I can honestly say I'm not looking forward to Saturday.
Saying that, I truly hope the Cubs don't get swept. What needs to happen for them to win this series short of a miracle. It seems their confidence is completely gone. I guess you just have to tell the team to go out and have fun. Treat this as just another game. Forget about being down 0-2 and just go out there and play ball. Harden can most definetly provide the much needed spark the Cubs need to make this happen. The vets need to step up and produce, the infield needs to play no mistake baseball and they need to be aggressive on the base paths, provided we get anyone on base.
I just hope I'm not saying Wait till next year, after Saturday nights game. I'm getting pretty tired of saying and hearing it. The Cubs need to win now! They have the team to do it and it will be nothing but dissapointing if they don't. Well till next time I'm out.
