Even with all the injuries, if they can hit with RISP a little better, they should be about 8 games above .500 now. And, pretty much all the position players are healthy.
TBH, after watching every ST game, I didn't have that much expectation on Cabrera. I thought I'd be happy, if he's our #3 (of course, with Horton and Boyd healthy). I thought Shota was going to be better.
I don't remember who, but somebody mentioned the Cubs offense started sucking more, after Nicky Lopez left the team. He's supposed to be a very funny guy, and that helped the team. I don't know if it's true, but the timing matches.
