New Cubs’ closer Ryan Dempster failed to close out today’s game but the teams’ bullpen failures are nothing new. What is different is that the Cubs won anyway thanks to Derrek Lee’s 10th homerun of the season.
Combine that with Greg Maddux’s masterpiece last night (which thankfully the bullpen didn’t blow) and you got yourself a bonfide Cubs series win against the Mets.
Maybe this could be a trend..
… I meant the winning part not the blown save. I’m afraid that is already a trend.
Derogatory comment about the Cubs from Teddy Ballgame appearing in 5..4..3..2
Could you wake me when the bullpen actually SAVES a game?
