The Chicago Cubs scored more runs in the first inning than the Chicago Bears offense did on its first drive against Oakland. In competing sports casts Friday night, the Cubs onslaught meant certain victory and a permanent channel change for Chitown sports fans.
Awaking this morning, we learn that once again the Cubs snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The Padres came back against Edwin Jackson to defeat the Cubs, 8-6. Oh, the humanity!
The Padres bullpen was solid. The Padres chipped away at the lead against Jackson and the Cub bullpen relievers James Russell and Blake Parker. The Cubs meanwhile went into offensive hibernation, scrapping only 5 hits for the rest of the game.
Good teams do not allow this to happen.
