Do You Get Tired of This?

After the Cubs 3-1 loss to Milwaukee....

"There is a sense of urgency. You don't panic. You never panic," said Baker of the wild-card race also involving San Diego and San Francisco. "We are sitting in a good position. We still haven't played our best baseball, we know that. Everybody has hot streaks and we haven't had ours. Hopefully ours will come at the right time or in the nick of time."


I know I am getting sick of these comments from Baker. Ever come to the conclusion we are playing the best baseball of the year? Last year we won the division with 89 wins. Yeah it was nice to win the division but no power house this team was. We struggled through that year because 2 other teams struggled just as bad. But you knew that was going to be a one year fluke. Either Houston or the Cardinals would get back on track and 89 wins again wasn't going to cut it to win the division.

We now sit at a pathetic 15 games out of first place. But we are still on pace for 89 wins and a finish over .500 for 2 years straight! Big whoop. Yet still no worries from old Dusty Baker. Our groove will come, we will make the playoffs. Hopefully this, hopefully that, maybe in the nick of time. Under performing team, manager incapable of stopping the sinking. They say you can't fire the players. But you sure as hell can fire the manager. Baker is right on track for my 3 years and then fired prediction. Keep up the good, ummmmm no work, of making the team better. Far too much talent on this team to be 8 games over .500.
