Cubs need to fix this - fast

This is becoming a very disturbing trend: The Cubs have trouble scoring a runner from third with less than two outs.
Happened again in the first inning today. First and third with one out and Aramis Ramirez at the plate. You would hope a big RBI guy like Ramirez would drive at least one run home, but that didn’t happen. Double play. Cubs don’t score.
The Cubs wasted a lot of those kinds of opportunities during the homestand, too.

Looks like you might of spoke too soon on this problem….

Nope. Happened again in the 6th. Second and third, one out and didn’t score the run. Could be a 10-5 game, at least. Instead it’s 8-5, too close for comfort given the way the Cubs have been playing defense (2 errors today).

3 infield errors leading to runs? Now there’s your problem.

Um, yeah. This isn’t so much a “problem” as a franchise trademark.
