Starlin Castro continues to impress. This kid is a good looking ballplayer.

Kinda sad that he's already better than Gordon Beckham

Chad Qualls is such a loser. NL Central looks very mediocre so far, as Reds pitching is struggling as expected.

The Padres lineup is just atrocious

Matt Garza's BABIP must be like .600. His K/BB ratio is Cliff Lee-ish.

Cardinals giving Westbrook that extension looks like a terrible move. He has nothing!

BTW, I love the Brewers philosophy of putting a .500 OPS hitter in front of Braun and Fielder. You don't want Fielder's RBI totals to be too high and allow him to get an even bigger contract.

The Padres lineup is just atrocious

 

4 of 8 starters under .200, and their leadoff man with an OPS below .400. The offenses in the NL are worse than ever.

Brad Hawpe....please just retire.

John Grabow is not gonna let Will Ohman take the "Worst left hander in Chicago" title without a fight

Duston Moseley has 4 starts and 25.2 IP and the Padres have yet to score a run while he's in the game. In fact, the run they got in the 9th off Marmol is the first run they scored in any entire game he has appeared in.

Brad Hawpe is a disgrace to baseball

Marmol blown save. I wonder if they are calling for Quades head after that.

This Padres offense is so freaking pathetic. 16 LOB, not a hit in sight with RISP.

 

And just like that, Cubs win. They're getting no hitting lately, but still won 3 of 4.

Chad Qualls must really hate the city of Chicago.

profundo sighting

Juan Uribe!

Juan Uribe!

 

CRUSHING the Cubbies! He must be comfortable in Chicago

 

The Cubs are the first team in MLB history to go 1-1, 2-2, 3-3, 4-4, 5-5, 6-6, 7-7, 8-8, 9-9, and 10-10 to start a season.

for as awful as the sox have played, and for as decently as the cubs are perceived to have been playing...they are only separated by .5 games

Expectations.

Losing 10 of 11 will do that, while the Cubs have been right at .500 all season until losing the last 3, as the stat above shows.

Why do teams pitch to Soriano when he's in one of his ridiculous hot streaks?

My lord, not only is Castro significantly better than Beckham now, but Darwin Barney's having a hell of a start to his season for the Cubs. I hate baseball this year.

It was worse from 2003-2008 or 2009.

 

During that time, you had the feeling the Cubs might actually go all the way.

 

This year's team very well might have a better record than the Sox (still not likely), but I can't see them making the playoffs. Not yet. Give it another month and a half. Let's see where both teams are respectively.
