As for my cubs, I'm shocked they've won 11 games. This team should probably rightfully be like 4 and 17. They can't fix any of the problems that have constantly plagued this ballclub.
NOBODY (outside of DLee) can get a clutch hit
NOBODY can hit leadoff
NOBODY can close down a game or even pitch out of the pen in a tight situation.
Barring them firing Dusty Baker or landing a closer SOON they'll be lucky to win 80 games. By default this years D is better, and the arms are healthy but unfortunately Wood won't listen to anybody about his mechanics (all he has to do is take about a 6 inch shorter stride and he'd never have any arm problems.) Zombrano has been solid (though insane) Prior has been lights out, Maddux is going to be fine because he's Greg fricken Maddux and Dempster has been a serviceable #5.
I don't even know why I bother responding to this because I'm sure your retort will be "yeah well the cubs suck" or "Derick Lee's a ***got."

You summed up the Cubs problems quite nicely. But you couldve summed it all up in 2 words: They suck.
