Before yesterday's game I wrote that the Cubs may have been too tired after the eleven inning debacle Sunday. Apparently, I was correct.
What bothers me most is that the Cubs were shut out by over-the-hill, right-hander Byung-Hyun Kim. He carried a 7.00+ ERA into the game and looked terrible in the first inning. Still, our boys were too tired to swing effectively, sqandering another decent starting pitching performance, this time by Sean Marshall.
What worries me is that by the time the Cubs start hitting effectively, the starting pitching will start to fall apart. People may get hurt, etc. Getting a team to run like a machine is hard. Keeping it running is even harder.
The Cubs face the weak Florida Marlins twice more this week. Can they turn things around?
