Quade, Hendry & 90-Losses

By bullpenbrian - May 29, 2011 - 1:59 am Leave a comment.

I’m afraid what lies around the corner for our Cubs.

After Saturday’s 10-0 trouncing against the Pirates, a game in which the Cubs appeared genuinely disinterested and lethargic, it seems only a nightmare awaits us.

To lose consecutive games vs. Pittsburgh, during a crucial homestand, speaks volumes about the Cubs’ character. Watching it has simply been unbearable.

The fire from which they played with last season under Mike Quade has seemingly fizzled out.

There’s no will to win, no comeback mentality, no player holding his mates accountable for sorry effort, at least not publicly.

The storm for a 90-loss season is gaining steam, as are the chances for another Carlos Zambrano meltdown.
