Well, that was one dull game, and a long one as well. Just when we thought games were going to get speedier. Made more so by the unutterably awful coverage by ESPN. I mean, can these guys get any more annoying, and can the camera pan to more excruciating shots of the crowd, the construction, and fatso everyman John Kruk lolling in the press box blabbering inanities non-stop? To top that off, the time delay for TV of upwards of two pitches made it impossible to listen to the radio announcers and follow the game with any continuity.
Anyway, the Cubs looked like they caught the red eye and just got off the plane twenty minutes before game time. They were 0 for 13 with runners in scoring position, which the Cardinals, unfortunately, were not. Lester was not sharp. I didn't think Wainwright was all that sharp either, but he managed to get outs when it counted. On the plus side, the bullpen looked good, even Jason Motte.
