Cubs fine glove work unable to move streak ahead, lose 6-4 to Dodgers

What a way to show up the Chicago crowd!  During Game 1 at historic Wrigley Field the Dodgers sneak away with a game-changing 6th to pull out a 6-4 upset.  3 homeruns from the Cubs' lineup fail to be enough.  Of course this comes after a long series on the road.  Since the trade with the new prospect acquires Cubs management once again slips up.  Not only do Mr. Hoyer among the rest in managment forget leadership yet also lack common sense to bring in veteran quality to generate the offense again. 

  Sure the fans can align the stands all they want to cheer and shout (lewd comments) with their distaste.  The real value remains on the field despite the pressure from unfavorable, care-free management with their revenue trails catching up to them.  To be this vain in a constant scuffle to push the franchise down towards the bottom is terrible.  The only big transition made is through new hopeful first baseman (Texas prospect) Mike Olt with a reason to care. 

  Nobody in baseball does anything but count the Cubs out every damn year!  For this projection the Cubby Blue way, however is not going to be shut down every day.  Still what in the world does this team need to see to catch a break?  The fear is obvious in Chi-town with the game always on the line half-way home against even the worst in the NL.  The top analysts know all the stats to rave about when the club hits a streak.  Then after that the mood swings too far in the wrong direction.  

  Anthony Rizzo makes every game a thrill to watch with his passion for the game yet the rest off the home bench can't always compete.  Too much emphasis is put after a nasty late inning.  Let's see the offense turn the corner for a while and let go with everyone's rich (crazy) expectations.  Even a poster boy for milk carton can get a shot these days in Chicago with the big L--- out from the upper front office.  When the streak hits more than 4 too many a-holes hit the floor (Selfish with time as ever).  As a result, a young movement takes over in Chicago.
