Attention Chicago Cubs. You have completed 21% of the season and things are just not going your way. I wasn’t expecting you to win the series this year but I was hoping you’d make a push for the wild card. Your offense is slacking with the exception of Ryan Theriot and Marlon Byrd. What’s with that? You have Aramis Ramirez and Derrek Lee who would probably be better off sitting on the bench. The plus side is Castro looks like he’ll blossom into a hell of a player. Might be a little soon to move Theriot over to 2B and have Fontenot and Baker both in the dug out. But he’s a good kid no doubt. The bullpen is in shambles. Big Z and a reliever? Gimme a break. I won’t even really comment on the bullpen because it could only be worse if it got hit by lightning but Carlos Marmol makes me nervous everytime he comes into a game as the closer. If you’re going to reassign Zambrano I’d sooner just phone up Cashman and make a deal. The positives I see which are very few from the mound perspective is that Dempster is giving you good games (that you end up dropping) and the same could be said for Gorzelanny (with the same result) so you’ve got a little under 130 games to do now so make the most of them boys. Win some games. Show some heart. Play like you want the Cubs to have a World Series title again, it’s only been over 100 years.
