Bleah...

If the Cubs are supposed to make hay of the lousy teams in baseball, they just did a lousy job. Sure, they are probably only 1 game behind what was reasonably expected. But when was the last time a Cubs' team did better than expected? When is this team going to come out and surprise us with outstanding play?

The schedule now turns to the first team that one would project to have a winning record at the end of the year. If the Brewers were gut check, the Padres may be measuring stick.

And it looks like Prior will skip Tuesday and the brass will blame it on the weather. Who knew? Oh, wait....
