Cubs look flat in win

This Cubs team is bad. Even in tonight's win (against one of the worst teams in baseball) they look like a group of guys who are already thinking about their plans for the All Star break. Note tonight's ninth inning, which began with two weak ground-outs and ended with "lead-off" hitter Correy Patterson swinging at a ball in the dirt.

This team has no bullpen (as evidenced by Friday night's choke), a fragile rotation and an offense spottier than a car windshield after a drive across a Minnesota interstate.

But at least they won, and so Sandberg the cat got to do his happy dance.

The disorder manifests itself in two main forms: Optimistic and Realistic. While the parent strain Cubfanism is hereditary, CfR can manifest in the offsrping of a CfO parent, and vice versa.

Perhaps your children will be lucky and display the CfR strain.

Ultrasound technology has not reached the stage where the R and O forms can be identified in the unborn child, so Nathan and I will have to wait and see...
