I said it a week ago. I said it yesterday. I'll say it again today. Cubs will be in 3rd place at the end of July and with the toughest schedule of the 3 contenders, they'll never recover. There's always next year though.

The Cubs were favored by Bud Selig all these years? How so?

Why would Selig favor any one particular team?

For that matter, what draft rules did the Cubs violate? I thought it was the White Sox who were skimming from the bonuses of young Dominican players or some such thing.

Is this going to be all the ammunition Selig will need to hand this ballclub over to his buddy John Canning, who probably knows as little about baseball as P.K. Wrigley did?

I think the sports world in general is tired of the over-hyped Cubs and their gay fans.

Who cares where the Cubs will be at the end of July? I am more concerned about where they will be at the end of September, when they will be comfortably in first place looking down at the stunned Brewers.

Cubs shouldn't push Harden.

The solution is simple: Have Sean Marshall start Saturday in place of Harden. Marshall only threw two-thirds of an inning last night, so he should be fine (he wasn't good last night, but he's much better starting than relieving).

Then have Harden open the four-game Brewers series on Monday (against Sabathia), followed by Lilly on Tuesday, Big Z on Wednesday and Dempster on Thursday.

That way, Harden gets two extra days of rest and the others get one extra day of rest.

Looking down from their collective flights home for the winter after folding yet again.
While the Brewers are stunned that Cub fans continue their misguided allegiance to a perennial looser.
