A rant about my favorite team in baseball the Cubs and an objective look into baseball in general.

Aramis over the Mendoza line.

He's batting over .200 now. I'm seriously beginning to believe that he should be kept out of the first 3 weeks of the season. He has some mechanical issue that is not present in ST, yet it hits like the furies when the season starts. Murton, making the adjustments that the league made on him. Once he can get on the inside pitch, he'll show power to all fields. D. Lee had a huge hole in his swing and it took six seasons to figure it out. Angel Guzman, flashes of brilliance, spotted his pitches well, slider looked devastating at times but will need to learn to change speeds. Anyone in the bigs can turn on 95mph fastball. 11 men reached base safely, 6 WERE WALKS, yet we suffer our 8th loss of the season. I'm not going to purely blame Williamson but giving up 3 walks, a balk and a bloop hit will kill you every time. Prior to this Williamson looked lights out, so he gets a pass this time. The Cubs failed to execute on many occasions and they in turn earn the loss. Well, Milwaukee and their ass-hat fans invade Wrigleyville. They're coming in w/a winning streak. Good news is Sheets will not pitch in the weekend set, bad news is Bush, Davis and Capuano. Lets see Maddux continue his fantastic start and get some runs. One final thought, an article in an Arizona paper stated Tony Clark would be willing to waive his no-trade for the Cubs if the D-backs were able to get a "suitable" replacement, is Freddie Bynum "suitable"?

    Baker should have never left Williamson in. . .his out pitch is the one in the dirt (about 99%) of the time.

    Should have went to Howry sooner, only an observation though.

    Todd Walker needs to file a case report for robbery.
