Bad
Let's take this time to look over the Iowa roster:
Iowa:
Trenedad Hubbard: He's currently got a stat line of .323/.408/.402. I like the .323. I really like the .408. I don't like the .402. When your slugging is less than your OBP, you've got some issues. If you have 6 extra base hits in 127 at-bats, that's a problem.
Dave Kelton: Soon to be called up for Friday's doubleheader to not play much. He's got a .294/.351/.500 line with 7 HR in 170 AB. Unfortunately, he's only walked 13 times, so he'll fit right in with the big club.
Rey Ordonez: He's 7 for 24! He's 7 for 24! He's the solution at shortstop! He's the answer! (Then what the hell is the question?) (His lifetime average: .247/.291/.311. Nice fielder though)
Jimmy Anderson: Another callup for the next couple of days, probably starting against the Astros next week. Great.
A quick recap of the last two games:
The Cubs can't hit Roy Oswalt and were shutout for the 28th time this year.
Corey Patterson batted third?
Ramon Martinez hit second? Ramon Martinez sucks.
Derrek Lee couldn't get a clutch hit if his life depended on it.
Paul Bako was intentionally played in a non-Maddux start. He went 1-3 with his first stolen base since 2001. Paul Bako sucks.
Can we send this SOB back to Montreal or Korea or wherever the hell he came from?
Pop Quiz hotshot: You've got one of the slowest runners on the team in Michael Barrett (but he runs well for a catcher, right Chip?), against one of the best arms in the league in Richard Hidalgo. There's one out. Do you send the runner home on a single if you're the third base coach when the score is 5-3? Well, if you're Wavin' Wendell you sure as hell do! And when he gets thrown out by 30 feet, what happens then? Idiot!
The furthest out of first last year the Cubs were was when they were swept in a 2 game series at Philly in late July. They were 5 1/2 games out. If they can stay within 5 games by the time they get the calvary back (Sosa, Prior and/or Wood), they've got a chance. Unless, of course they make some sort of trade and actually acquire someone of value (Beltran, "A Shortstop That Can Hit", Hee Seop Choi, etc.)
