It's the same ol' same ol' that we've been seeing for how many years now? People are already getting hurt, blaming the media, yada yada yada... We score 10 runs one game then go 4 or 6 games scoring 1 or 2. They'll play just well enough in spurts that they'll stay near the top of the central, but that's it. I don't see them winning the division at all though. St Louis has a BASEBALL team. They hit for contact, are disciplined at the plate and all play the game hard. The Cubs have some guys that do that all the time and some that do it sometimes or just enough so that it doesn't seem too obvious when they're not. Anyone with a decent amount of common sense should have know that Milton Bradley would get hurt (albeit, I didn't think it would be 15 games into the season). And his suspension and BA just make thinks worse. And how 'bout our new closer? Can't save many games with an ERA over 6; but I guess we have to score some runs first so he can have a chance.
I know most fans and "experts" love the additions of Bradley and Gregg, but I think we got worse getting rid of DeRosa and Wood; what's Miles done? Nothing. Maybe I'm jumping the gun here with pessimism, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to love about this years team. Here's to hoping it turns around soon!
Go Cubs!

- Thanks for visiting !!Holy Cow!!, a blog for the rest of us. By that I just mean a place where you can go to read some good stuff. I try to mix it up a bit with current events, some of my daily adventures, good places to eat etc., but mostly I end up writing about sports. It's my one true passion (with food & drink being a close #2) that I enjoy spreading the word about. With that said, sit back, relax and enjoy! And remember...Watch for deer!
