Back at it with Interleague Play, Cubs fall in opener

Hello again Cubs fans and visitors!

A long time back I updated this page. Whew! It's enough hassles I've experinced since then. Anyway, looking at the boxscores and catching the action on the field sometimes I see the Cubs are slumping again. Also noticed the trades which occurred. Losing to the White Sox wasn't good in any shape or form yesterday, 10-5. So the management team decided to bring in Xavier Nady and few other players. Not too bright when the starting lineup isn't settled yet.

I can't believe the pitching let the game get away from the Cubs at Wrigley Field Friday. They've still to work out discrepancies with the pen situation. Sean Marshall I presume is still available. Don't know much about the new acquisition in Randy Wells. Find other talented guys have been moved. Whenever the Cubs manage to hit at 4-5 runs early it's typically a good sign. They got to get control the starting rotation though. Wells fell to 3-5 with the loss as Soriano drilled his 10th homerun to reach a milestone 300.

Too many lead changes is never too good for Chicago. With the WhiteSox in town for 4-game series it to come clear to the Cub bats' to get runs in the early going. Having Kosuke Fukudome struggle as well as other potent hitters has to end. For a while the Cubs will licking the outskirts in third or fourth place. Lou Piniella may decide to get in on the trade talk before the All-Star break. Working out the differences in the infield and outfield rotation is still extraordinary significant. Dragging through games is never the answer. Time for the energy to surge sometime from the Cubs' starting lineup. Until that happens, bare and grin it.

Go Cubs Go!
