A Sign of the (Bad) Times

Most people who watched the Sunday night baseball matchup between the New York Mets and the Chicago Cubs were astounded to see the Mets score 11 runs in the sixth inning. But that wasn’t the first time a team scored 11 runs in one inning this season. On June 20th, the White Sox scored 11 runs against the St. Louis Cardinals.

The Cubs should have been out of the inning with minimal damage, but Cubs’ second baseman Todd Walker, who is not known for his defensive skills, committed two errors which gave the Mets the opportunities to score when the inning should have ended.

I would not be surprised if Walker is traded before the end of the month as will Cub pitchers Greg Maddux and Scott Williamson. Much to the chagrin of fans, Cubs’ manager Dusty Baker will probably be around until the end of the season.
