AFTER THREE-EIGHTHS OF THE SEASON....

.....It starts to sound silly for the Tribco-Cubdom to keep saying "These Guys are going to break out. It's bound to happen?"

Why? Because Fukudome has this undeniable history of MLB achievement? Because DLee had a good year in '06? Because Milton Bradley has had 500 Plate Appearances in two of his 9 MLB seasons? Because Fontenot had a nice year coming off the bench last year? Because Soto is tokin' and doing double-stuffed oreos? Because Soriano got his hot streak out of the way early this year and is now working on a trade to the Braille league?

I don't mind that they can't hit. I mind that they are treating recovery as inevitable.
