Maaan, this season is driving me crazy.
Every time you think there's a little momentum building, something like yesterday happens.
Cubs 2 Brewers 11.
Rich Harden couldn't find the plate, and when he did it was dinner time for the Brewers.
Yeah, everybody has a bad day, but it would be nice if guys could choose their bad day for when they're sitting on the bench.
Or..."resting" as Lou says.
Yesterday, Lou made a significant (or at least most-talked-about-all-season) switch, moving Alfonso Soriano down to the 6 hole.
He still went 0-fer, but I hope he leaves him there for awhile just to see if he might get comfy.
By the way, I believe he's the Cubs' leading vote getter for the all-star team.
Hitting .223.
Tomorrow Aramis Ramirez and Reed Johnson come off the DL.
And that'll be nice, but I'm managing my expectations about Aramis - he's not gonna be himself for awhile yet.
And we'll be saying goodbye to...Fuld? Blanco? That new guy I never heard of before?
We'll see.
But so far this team - you feel like the bus is starting to run fine and then it hits a pothole or just sputters out.
Here's hoping Terrible Ted can be the piece Lou needs today.
Maybe Sam Fuld gets another chance to lead off...
And with a W, Lou maybe gets back behind the wheel.
Sometime during this home-stand, it would be nice to pass somebody, wouldn't it?
