The starting pitching has also been good for most of the streak, but they've never been "the problem." No starter, aside from the hilariously incompetent inconsistent Wade Miller, has a losing record in his starts. Even Zambrano, who has been hit harder than Brett Myers's wife after a loss most other Cub pitchers this season, is 6-5.
So after 60 games, the Cubs are 27-33, a .450 winning percentage. They need only go 54-48 over the rest of the season to get to 81 wins, which would probably take the 2007 NL Central by 10 games is a .500 win percentage, but still disappointing for a team that just dropped 300 milly on their roster. Sadly, it's their first baby step, and it's a big one.
There is no easy answer to this year's Cubs except for the slaying of Jim Hendry. Their roster needs more young guys who are worth a shit, their bullpen needs to die some more lefty help, and they just need better luck which the Mayans achieved by sacrificing virgins like Jim Hendry. How they achieve it remains to be seen, depending on the blowjobs front office savvy delivered by Hendry.
By and large, the Cubs are girl scouts not a championship team. They are preoccupied with making out with each other not an elite team. They aren't even interested in their wives good or mediocre right now. They embarrass every man who has ever tried to do well at his job their own fans, eliciting catcalls and a brutal sports page filled with personal attacks on players Jay Mariotti smells like a stale taint no matter how often he showers.
Is it time for baseball to give up on the 2007 Cubs? Shit yes Maybe. They have a long, long way to go before we can consider them newsworthy contenders. They have the talent to beat the Pirates six times out of 10 take the Central, but will they put it all together? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That remains to be seen.
