The guys who actually threw to hitters Ted Lilly, for starters didn't have such a great day in a 12-7 loss to the Cincinnati Reds, just the third loss in the Cubs' last 20 home games.

So Cubs management has raised a trial balloon on whether to continue raising the "L" flags at Wrigley Field after losses.
