Cubs, the more you lose, the closer we get to my game thread which might have anime in it. Do you really want to do that to your loyal fans?

[Shilzzz]

Cubs will be lucky to get 0 earned runs today, apparently

[JimSorgi]

The Cubs will be lucky if they manage to hit a single ball in play.

I dont know where some of us are getting the idea that this is just a team thats over pefroming. Its a very solid lineup, especially when Troy Glaus comes back.

Cubs win, 6-4.

Hopefully I'm not the only one who still doesn't have a clue who Joe Thurston is or where he came from.

Where he came from : Dodgers. Who he is: a guy Id take over anyone we have at this point in time.

Alfonso Soriano-OF-Cubs Apr. 26 - 12:55 pm et

 

Alfonso Soriano is back in the leadoff spot Sunday after batting third the last two days.

 

This is getting ridiculous now. Soriano will be followed by Ryan Theriot batting second and Kosuke Fukudome hitting third.

Pujols, Ludwick, Duncan, Molina, Thurston, Barden will all end with a lower OPS than they currently have.

Obviously they can't keep up this level of production, but they are still a very good offensive team. Now the starting pitching isn't that great with Carpenter hurt, but if/when he comes back, they are a playoff caliber team.

Im not sayign they're going to OPS >1.000 all season, but some people needs to get the idea out of there head that the Cubs are going to waltz away with the division by 10+ games and accept the fact that the competition may be for real. The Cards, The Brewers, and who knows, maybe the Pirates. OK, probably not the Pirates, but you never know.

Soriano, LF

Theriot, SS

Fukudome, OF
