Flush This

What do you get when you add bad pitching to a bad lineup and a bad manager. Why, a 7-1 shellacking by the Arizona Diamondbacks. Isn’t that right, Chris Flexen? At least Flexen was honest about it. “I thought my stuff was terrible. Terrible execution, especially in big moments. That’s one I’ll try to flush.” Wow, now there’s a term I don’t hear often with this team. [all quotes from today’s Tribune story posted online] And then you have manager Mickey Mouse offering, “There’s going to be games like this.” Especially with you as manager, pal. Your team is an MLB-worst 18-53, and the only reason you still have a job is the owner is prone to cutting off his nose to spite his face. The ’62 Mets were one game better at this point, by the way.
