I dont think many Cub fans thought this team was going to be very exciting this year. Swanson being the big FA name was less than who many of us wanted, aka Turner. But Belli has been a surprise, Hoerner is steady eddy, and the starting rotation has actually been solid. Missing Steele is a blessing for the Twins, absolutely. Ultimately, this years version of the Cubs has at least been entertaining to watch; they can quickly put up a 3 or 4 spot in an inning.
I think the biggest lost was watching Contreras go to the Stupid Louis Cardinals, but then again, he isnt beating the world down there either. I hope the pressure of following Yawwwwnndi gets to him and his .6xx ops stays...forever....because that's all he had. He was never a game manager, always just a bat. sukkas took the WORST cub
anyway, i hope its a good series, Cheers to I-90/94 corridor!!
