The Cubs fell again on Sunday by the score of 1-0. The Cubs now sit at 4-7 in sole possession of last place in the NL Central. Those bats just aren’t coming out like expected but the pitching has certainly been there. Newcomer Ted Lilly said after the game,

“I’ve had three starts and we’re not winning a lot of games,” said Lilly, who signed with the Cubs for four years and $40 million in the offseason. “It’s nice to go out there and throw the ball well, but the objective is to win games.”

Get used to it Ted. You knew what kind of losing team you signed with - just get used to it. It also seems like we’re able to pull a ‘Lou Quote’ from about every game now. He’s starting to lose it already. He was asked after the game what he has seen and responded,

“What have I seen? What have you all seen?” manager Lou Piniella asked afterward. “You ask me like I’m the only eyes in this room. What have you all seen?”

I’ve seen a group of mediocre baseball players who can only win games if they hit 4+ homeruns in a game. No baseball fundamentals, no team chemistry, no ‘true’ leadoff hitter, no real 2nd hitter, a questionable middle relief core… That enough? What has everyone else seen? Hey Lou - you asked!
