When will the Cubs lose 1st place?

[apete6]

Due to the awfulness in Tampa Bay, badness from middle of the order, Soriano injury, and the inevitable shoulder reconstruction of Z, when will the Cubs lose their lead?

When the other NL Central GMs learn to build better teams.

[Post Count Padder]

Hopefully never, but the Cards just showed their true selves and we picked up zero ground.

They're actually going to lose it today. I mean, it's the Cardinals so they're going to use pixe dust to take the lead.

Even after dropping three in Tampa, we still lead the division by 3.5 games, we're still 6-4 over our last ten and 10-7 for June. I'm not worried, yet.

Plus, you cant over estimate the NL Central

 

The Cards have had some luck, but the wheels seem to be falling off, plus they have six away games at Boston and Detroit.

 

The Brewers are looking decent, but after Sheets, the pitching staff is as inconsistant as they come. How long can Branyan, Kapler, and Torres can keep it up?

 

The Reds should be better than they are, but they're just falling further and further into oblivion.

 

The Astros dont have a pitching staff and the Pirates are the Pirates.

and we didn't get swept AT HOME by one of the worst teams in the AL
