I Forgive Bob Costas For Saying What I And A Lot Of Cubs Fans Were Thinking
“It’s not [Cubs pitching coach Chris] Bosio this time, it’s [Cubs manager Joe] Maddon, and that means a change. [Reliever Jason] Motte is on his way in. Strop is on his way out, pointing toward the heavens. We can only ask or wonder that he is asking some departed relative for forgiveness for this atrocious performance.”
Bob Costas didn't think much of Pedro Strop's relief effort on Friday and blown saves by a relief pitcher won't bring out the best in people. Players that invoke the baseball gods when entering games or in this case when leaving a game should be fair "game". Personally, all this pointing to the heavens is getting to be just another one of those "baseball" nervous gestures similar to the waggle of a golf club.
Maybe Bob should have self censored because an awful lot of broadcasters are athletically challenged, but make no mistake about it, the latest losing streak of four games hurts.
