I've seen this so many times it's almost ridiculous. Although I marvel at the game's ability to manufacture a synopsis of the game immediately after it is finished, I have yet to see any reference to defense when, in fact, unearned runs were the MAJOR factor in the outcome. As in a recent Cubs game (lost 4-3) when all four of the opponent's runs were uneared due to three Cub errors. Yet only the offense (this guy had 2 doubles and a homer) and the pitching (so-and-so struck out 11) are mentioned. Has anyone else noticed this? What's the point of these "game stories" if they routinely overlook the key factor?
