I don't think it's the losses that bother us per say (not that there's any such thing as a good loss), but rather the fashion in which they're losing, the team/pitchers they're losing to and the worrisome performances that are contributing to the losses, performances that could be precursors to extended problems. Exactly. I know the Cubs are better then the Brewers/Cards, but the fact that they are playing like the Padres is what concerns. 17+ innings, they've score 2 runs on such "legendary" pitcher like Moehler and Rodriguez. That is concerning to me. Concerning yes but every team has stretches like this. When will the Cardinals have theirs? Next year?
