They're second in the division and if the season were to end today they'd be the wild card seed. I'd give you -rep for this, but I see karma spitting in your eye all year long because of this post.
And the reason for all of the karma references, I just watched a few episodes of My Name is Earl last night. Great show. |

Having had a night to think about this though, I'm not all that worried.
This isn't last year; there's no Todd Hollandsworth in the Cubs lineup. The bottom two guys in our lineup both hit over .300 in their rookie season last year. Walker can be counted on for a .300+ average, as can Ramirez. I'm a little worried about Pierre's on base percentage, but I'm confident that Jacque Jones will warm up and be in for a career year. Throw in Barret whose been hitting well ever since the WBC, and you've got a very solid lineup, even without Lee. Don't get me wrong, I'm still pissed. But I'm not thinking it's the end of the world. |

Wow you are hitting the Kool-Aid pretty hard. Jacque a career year? Lee going down is gonna hurt us defensively the most. No more bailouts for Aramis or Cedeno. I am not in panic mode yet. Maybe after this weekend i might though.

The problem with Jones in Minnesota was that he was the only hitter on the team. He put himself under too much pressure, and he doesn't hit well under pressure (which explains the cold start to the season....he was under self-induced pressure to perform).
If you've watched him hit in the past few days, he's really starting to relax, warm up and find a groove. I think he'll be good for at least 20 homers this year, and should hit over .300. Just watch. |

I have watched him hit the past few games and don't know how you think he will reach .300. At the moment he is hitting a robust .194 on the year. But hey I guess he is relaxed. You would think he would be a little more tense when he steals his paychecks each week. With him and Pierre both with sub .270 OBP's it will be a long summer yet again if they don't get their head's out of their asses.
