Several Cubs have been in the zone most of the season and are having career years, like second baseman Mark DeRosa, outfielder Alfonso Soriano, third baseman Aramis Ramirez, shortstop Ryan Theriot and All-Star catcher Geovany Soto.

 

Soriano is having a career year??? :-k

Yeah that's pretty dumb. But otherwise I didn't see too much to pick a fight with.

 

Except that this and Posnanski's column appear to be the start of the national media crunch on the Cubs. I hope the guys can handle it because it's only going to get worse.

It's gonna be 50/50, I think. Half of the national columns will be "The Cubs can't hold up in the playoffs. Because they're the Cubs!" The other half will be "The Cubs are going all the way and will win the World Series!" because everyone wants to be the one that truly "predicts" it.

or because people think they're the best team in baseball, which, given their performance to date, is a completely reasonable position to take.

Soriano is having a career year??? :-k

 

saying soto is having a career year in his 1st full season in the big leagues doesn't really make sense, either.

He's also having his worst offensive season of his career. What a bum.

[CubbieBum]

That and A-ram is having his usual year or maybe slightly worse than usual.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Micah Hoffpauir was having a career year bwfore being sent down.

[Brett]

Ryan Dempster is having a career year.

[Electron Blue]

Ryan Dempster is having a career year.

 

As is DeRosa to a lesser degree and Theriot to a lesser degree than that.
