Summer Doldrums

Saw a few Cubs games last week up in San Francisco and — man — are they just awful. Can hardly even follow anymore! As of this posting, I believe they’ve lost 14 of their last 16 games and appear to swing at every first pitch as if they can’t wait to get sent down to the minors one by one. Adding a nother notch to their futility belt, the Padres became the first team in the Cubs’ 131 season history to sweep the season series from the No’ siders.

Wood supposedly returns this week – we’ll see how long that lasts… Prior is expected in the coming weeks as well. No D.Lee, however, for at least another month.

Can it get any worse before it gets better?
