Poor hitting, fielding sink Cubs to new low.(Chicago Tribune)
MIAMI_After a team goes from bad to worse, what comes next?
The answer is Monday night's 11-1 loss to the Marlins, which qualifies as one of the Cubs' sorriest showings in a season full of pitiful efforts.
At least there were few who cared enough to witness it. When the game began after a 34-minute delay, there were less than 1,000 people at Pro Player Stadium. The final paid attendance was 7,412.
Cubs manager Don Baylor was asked if the loss was embarrassing.
"I would hope so," he replied. "It is to me. I know the preparation we put in every single day to not have outcomes like this."
The low point came in the fifth inning, when reliever Jeff Fassero faced five batters and gave up five hits.
Fassero's nightmare finally ended when Luis Castillo mercifully overran third base and allowed himself to be tagged for the third out. Otherwise the inning might have spilled into Tuesday morning.
