yeah just like the brewers tremendous collapse on thursday led to them getting blown out by the pirates on friday. Do the Cubs play the Pirates tomorrow? no, they have one more game against the cardinals, followed by 3 games each against the reds and giants, both of whom stink. so i guess your point is valid, it's very possible that the cubs could lose tomorrow and be on a devastating 2-game skid. Yeah, because we're guaranteed wins against the Reds and Giants, right? I mean, I'm pretty sure they don't even have to play. They just aut0omatically give the Cubs wins because those teams are so bad. Also, I'm pretty sure we'll see Harang, Cueto, and Volquez in the Reds series. and Cain and Lincecum in the next one. Plus we have that horrible finish to the year. I don't get the false confidence some are showing. I've been optimistic, but I'm not liking the way this team is shaking out. I still think we need a top of the rotation starter to be serious and I don't see who we can get at this point. If the Brewers get Sabathia and we end up with some stiff like Randy Wolf, I think the Brewers become the favorite.
