Cubs Manager Mike Quade complained the other day that the Dodgers tried to steal a base with an 8-1 lead in the 5th inning at Wrigley Field. He cited the "unwritten rules" of baseball. Awwww, poor baby.
Excuse me Quade, but isn't a baseball game 9-innings? Isn't it possible for a team to score 8,9, or 10 runs in 5-innings or turns at-bat which was the situation for Chicago?
Earlier this season, the Brewers with a 5-0 lead on the Cubs, stole a base. Carlos Gomez ended up scoring and the final was 6-0 Milwaukee. Quade moaned about that.
What, you can't steal bases on the Cubs with a lead? Do you have to ask permission from Quade if you can steal? Is this guy an expert on the stupid "unwritten rules" of baseball? If he knows so much he should then write up the rules.
Better yet, stop falling behind so much and instead of managing the other team, try managing your own damn team.
I said it before and I'll say it again. The Cubs should have hired Ryne Sandberg to be their manager. Already he seems over matched. Quade, in his first full season as a Major League manager should stop complaining and try establishing himself first. My advice to Quade...PIPE DOWN!
