Tomorrow's pitching matchup might be the worst one of the season the Cubs have had. We're sending Juan Mateo and his 5+ ERA to the hill against Lance Cormeir and his 5+ ERA. Tomorrow's matchup can pretty much sum up why the teams are not going anywhere this season. It's been a long time since the Braves weren't playing meaningful games in September, 1994 to be exact. Oh well the Cubs have dropped the first two in the four game series, what's two more?
The Cubs have been playing dreadful baseball of late. I think it is a forgone conclusion that the team will have a new field manager next summer. Now it only seems as if Hendry is going to get canned. The last few home games have shown a substantial decrease in attendance, in part due to school starting and in part to the team flat-out shitting up the place. If Hendry gets axed, my favorite possibilities are Chris Antonetti, Paul DePodesta and Kim Ng in that order. Even if McPhail and the Trib do not think the new wave of statistic savvy general managers are not the way to go, the old school types have been failing for 98 years.
1. 54-89 0.0 - Kansas City Royals
2. 56-86 2.5 - Chicago Cubs
3. 57-85 3.5 - Tampa Bay Devil Rays
4. 58-85 4.0 - Pittsburgh Pirates
Only 2.5 games until the top!
