Getting ready to go watch the rubber game of the Cubs-Astros series. Was disappointed in the loss last night. I continue to be amazed at this team's lack of ability to score runs. Granted, their best hitter is on the DL (Ramirez) - but still, it's frustrating. Miles, Fontenot, Johnson, etc... aren't going to give you more than stopgap ability. Long term, they need Aramis. And maybe even more help.
The bullpen has been shaky to say the least. I will give Guzman a break for last night because he has been awesome with that exception. Gregg and Marmol need to pick it up and Heilman better start throwing strikes or he is going to be gone. I think they should bring up the Shark.
Anyway, good news is that they are only 3 games back....and it's a long summer. Maybe they are lowering our exepectations and then surprising us, like the Astros a few years back. Let's hope so.
