You said the Pen is the # 1 issue. Unless I read you wrong. with the fonz and ramirez back, it is It's not. The offense is still the major issue and has been all year long. I wouldn't go that far, the bullpen was a very significant issue early in the season when the Cubs lost AT LEAST 15 games probably more due to a failure to hold leads. I mean yes, you can say the offense could have scored more in those games but I just remember way too many leads slipping away in the 6th inning or later. Right now, the bullpen doesn't bother me too much. Most of the bullpen's really bad outings seem to happen when the Cubs are losing anyways and the offense hasn't put any pressure on the other team. But I don't see nearly as many blown leads.
