The Cubs were shut out in a doubleheader at New York. Not all that surprising when you look at the lineups tossed out there. Here's another piece of unsolicited advice for Renteria: Don't play utility players every day.
Case in point: Tonights lineup contains three utility players, viz., Bonafacio, Sweeney, and Valbuena. No excuse for this, coupled with all the bunting and the complete lack of plate discipline with men on base and you get a 4-10 start.
Incidentally, the inevitable cooling off of Bonafacio has started a little quicker than even I anticipated. He is 1 for 21 in his last six starts and 0 for 13 since his rest day last Saturday.
