And they're 11-3? That's terrifying for the rest of baseball.

 

Or, that the NL is completely horrendous...which it is :)

Lets wait and see what the cubs look like against the nationals or better teams. They are feasting on crap right now.

They're doing what they're supposed to do. And outside of Fowler/Montero, their entire offense is underachieving - for now.

That sounds awful familiar...

I am not saying their offense is underachieving...maybe it is, or maybe it isn't. Some of their players may be having a sophomore slump. After all, they are still young.

 

And maybe, just maybe, the back-end of their rotation is overachieving? Let's face it, any way you cut it, the majority of NL lineups are pretty bad. Hammel is a perfect example. After his trade to Oakland, he got massacred in the AL. Then, he returns to the NL and is dominant? It doesn't make any sense other than he can only handle the hacks in the NL.

 

I am NOT saying the Cubs aren't a good team. But, put them in the AL and they wouldn't have such a breeze. Better pitching, better hitting, and stronger overall teams in the AL. There is no doubt about it.

White Sox don't hit but win, dark clouds. Cubs don't hit but win. They are going to be unstoppable.

From one person.

Arrieta at it again. No hitter thru 4 and 2-2 at plate.

Guess I need to watch this. Damn this dude is good.

Thru 6

I hate Jake Arrieta.

I hate that I have to hear about it at the office in the morning. :lol:

Wow baby Jesus. Even though they're bum-slaying, 13-0 is still remarkable.

 

Just not remarkable enough, I guess, so Arrieta is just going to spin a no-hitter. He should come out and throw left-handed in the 9th to make it interesting.
