Proper Negativity

Then again, if you aren't indifferent (and if you are reading this, how could you be), Rob Glowacki at the Cub Reporter gives some valid reasons to watch the Cubs this week. Rob says that he will be watching to see:

- That Jose Macias and Neifi Perez go a combine 0-50 this week at the top of the order. Anything that shows how poor these two players are and subsequently how replaceable, can only help the Cubs in 2006.

- That the Cubs DO NOT go 4-2. 4-2 means an 81 win season and the last thing we need is Dusty and the organization hanging their hat on another "winning season". This season was a failure and the Cubs need to make sweeping changes. Sure it's nothing more than an arbitrary number at this point, but I get this feeling, from Baker mostly, that finishing at .500 or better will somehow validate a portion of the year. Just say NO to .500!!!

Spot on. This team needs massive change. The worse they do, the better. If they lose for Maddux tonight, hope for brooms the rest of the season. The more embarrassment in 2005, the better 2006 may be.
