Cubs Lose To Sox As Offense Gets Lost In A "Where's Waldo" Puzzle

Hellllllooooooooooo mediocrity! Cubs Lose! Cubs Lose!

After Ted's sparkling performance on Flag Day which laid the foundation for the eventual Cubs win, we thought that we could steamroll the Southsiders and start gaining a little momentum. However, like Hitler on Germany's prospects for winning World War II, we were clearly incorrect.

In the latest edition of "Where In the World Is The Cubs Offense?", we could only muster a few hits against Marijuana-friendly John Danks before falling 4-1 to the ChiSox in the opening game of the Crosstown Classic.

In fact, we've been staring at the photo above for some time now and can only find Waldo (TLFC hint: he's wearing a red/white sweater) and not the Cubs offense.

We're not even going to get upset at Nanook of the North, Ryan Dempster who, overall, pitched a decent enough game w/ 6 IP, 3 earned runs and four Ks. And, truthfully, the pity run in the bottom of the 8th just made things worse.

Seriously. We need some offense. Is Mel Hall a free agent? Ohhh, that's right...

This one hurts, TedHeads but all is not lost w/ Big Z, Harden and Papa Bear TL going over the next three games. Keep remembering the Footsteps poem and all will be ok...
