Yes! #1 in the Fecal League!

[El Duderino]

Im too lazy to look it up, but it seems like Castro is striking out at a higher rate this year. I always thought he was a high contact guy albeit a free swinger though. But, he really is chasing and missing those low and away pitches this year. Is he just in a slump or being influenced too much by Soriano?

 

My God, the Cubs are awful....one game away from being swept by the Stros. 8 games and counting....

 

They're already swept, this was a two-gamer.

 

yep, we have a 1 game series tomorrow before our off day...

 

My bad. The Cubs are making me brain dead. Can't read the schedule.

[Sosa21MVP]

From 15-20 and on the verge of being 4 games out of first to 15-27 and the worst record in baseball. :?

[Soul]

We all knew it was possible. Sure, there were predictions and hopeful assertions.

 

This is not a surprise. Bad, rebuilding, experimental baseball. That's what we have here.

[Theo]

Every opportunity to win is sacred

[Soul]

Is that -42 the run differential?

 

Oh my GOD.

 

And how is Minny ahead of us with -63?!?

[Old Style]

[expletive] pathetic. Embarrassing.

what's so experimental about being bad?

[davell]

Good God, Castro better get a day off tomorrow. Hell, give him off the rest of the week for all I care. I don't think it's going to affect our pennant hopes.

[Little Slide Rooter]

So is Zunino still the favorite in the draft?

Grit, hustle, white guys, and playing the game the right way. But mostly grit.

Holy crap what a depressing loss. Travis Wood looked great after the slow start in the 1st. Starlin looked god awful. This team is a joke. But hey, at least we aren't fooling ourselves.

More so due to the fact that since Morneau's back and seemingly healthy, the heart of their lineup is really good.

Who's not fooling themselves? Go back and look at the posters' predictions for this team - most of them had them picked at better than last year's team. This is a bad team and it's going to take a lot of luck, work, and transactions to make them more than mediocre next year.

What am I missing here? My schedule (and the schedule on the Trib site) both say we have 1 more game in Houston.

you're missing sarcasm

That was my fault. Brain cramp.
