I love how 1/2 inning is the maximum amount of time the Cubs can hold a lead

Wait... so you're telling me the Cubs scored in the first inning, then immediately gave up the early lead by allowing first inning runs of their own?

Things I've learned this series:

-The Nationals are good.
-The Cubs are bad.
-Really bad.
-Like, really, really bad.
-As in, bad enough that I genuinely think they'd be best served giving up on the season, running out as many young guys as possible to get them AB's & experience, and shopping Arrieta, Davis, and Jay at the deadline to teams that aren't bad.

I know it worked so maybe it's dumb to criticize, but Turner has the base running IQ of a gnat. Why would you risk getting thrown out and ending the inning with a runner on third and Zimmerman coming up?

In other news, Cubs have a runner in scoring position with no outs. Let's see how they waste it!

Ugh, that was such s predictable sequence by Hardee's. He isn't bite on the curve because it was the obvious pitch to throw so he goes right back to a belt high fastball.
