FREAKING BRILLIANCE ON THE NORTH SIDE
The Cubs are having a great deal of trouble scoring runs. Their automatic RBI guy will be out another month. The Overpriced Japanese guy is Striking out at Kingman/Nicholson/Reynolds rate. Milton Bradley gets in the grove and goes out with his weekly injury. Soto's fitness program seems to have involved Carb-loading over the off season. In short this is a team with OFFENSE problems.
So what did they do about it? They sent a hitter (position player) to the minor leagues and decided to go with an extra pitcher. And that's going to help the offense exactly how? At the same time, they continue to leave their best offensive force in Iowa to hit Homers, drive in runs and bat over .400. Of course, he wasn't very successful in the big leagues: HE WAS ONLY FIVE FOR FREAKING SIX AS A PINCH HITTER!
I'm sure some of this is brought about by having no owner and a prospective owner who has made the troublesome discovery he doesn't have enough money to complete the deal.
My goodness. Who's in charge here?

Had the league just allowed Mark Cuban to buy the Cubs things would be much better. The way it's going he may get another chance.
Bradley really showed his mental skills yesterday when he caught that fly ball with one out, then threw it into the stands thinking there had been two out. Didn't affect the final score, but jeez, what a bonehead, T-ball mistake.
