The Funk is back

5/10/2007 8:15 PM

Today’s outing by Zambrano was another pathetic pitching performance. He pitched 6 innings and struck out 6 batters. He also gave up six runs. The Cubs couldn’t even muster 6 runs in the last two days. Only two of the runs were actually legitimate runs anyway.

Angel Pagan is back and at least tried to help by hitting a home run. Aramis hit a home run also. The hitting has taken an unusual turn as they are swinging at bad pitches early in the count and not getting runners in. This game is suppose to be fun but so far they are proving to struggle more than anything. The sweep they got against the Nationals was a Joke. They barely won those games and the Nationals are 9 – 23.

Jones is struggling because he doesn’t know where is going to be playing day to day. Theriot and Lee are creating production but unable to make production turn into runs.

The pitching can probably take some blame but all the games that the Cubs have lost have been a score that is reachable. The problem is there is no effort and fundamentals are out the door.

Fielding errors, miscommunication, bad at bats and slumping attitudes are making this team into the losing team that we have seen so many years before. If the Cubs would legitimately go out there and have fun and quit getting upset over the bad things then some good may come out of it. Right now there is a lot of room for improvement and the chemistry this team could possess has been there.
