8/6 - It's already the 5th inning you lazy bums

You know it's bad when not even CubinNY is talking to himself in the game thread today

Hoerner is 3 for 3 and his average is up to .299

 

Smyly with 5 shutout innings

 

McKinstry still can't get a hit

Seyia's numbers are trending towards Fukudome with less OBP and slightly more slugging. Different offensive environment though as Kosuke had a sub-100 OPS+ and Seyia is at 110. Still, not quite what I was hoping from the signing so far. His wRC+ and wOBA are below his pre-season projections and his K % is much higher.

Cubs win I guess.

Don't get the point of caring about a bunch of players that won't be here next year beating up on bad teams. The Cubs aren't tanking and are bad. They'll probably pick 13th next year if you look at the rest of their schedule and the fact that almost everyone else is much worse than them and trying to tank.

Can they give Higgins more playing time? I get that he has no pedigree, but all he's done is rake.

That NL Rookie of the Month award really went to his head.
