CUBS are 42-14 when they score 5 runs or more.... 25-71 when they don't Go CUBS !!

Lopez is one one of those guys who you prefer get rocked because every time he has a decent outing, it brings us closer to the possibility of him being in rotation next year. All I know if he's in next years rotation with Cashner in the pen, well, that won't be cool. If our new General Manager is so befuddled that he even considers keeping Lopez in the rotation based on him having a career year in 2011....... well.... then all is lost anyway, eh?
