OT: Cubs Implosion

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

Is anyone else enjoying this as much as I am? Looks like Arrieta and Lester are coming back down to earth. I know they still have a sizeable lead, but Pitt or St. Louis pulling off the division would just be icing on the cake.

Pittsburgh can do it. Cardinals have too many issues to even threaten.

I, for one, am not.

It's almost like a market correction...I really enjoyed watching them burn through the first half, but anyone who knows anything about baseball....or the Cubs....knew they wouldn't keep that pace. I think they'll settle in around .650 or so if they shake this slump. Anything can happen, and probably will.

Cubs probably won't make the playoffs.

Cubs probably won't make the playoffs.

That's the most encouraging thing I've read all week.

I'm rooting for them. I'm not a Cubs fan, but I sympathize with them. Would be cool to see them win a WS.

I'm always up for a good pennant race. Pitt has a lot of potential, but don't they always.

No. It's like watching an MSU football season except I don't care.

It's been tough to watch. All Star break couldn't come soon enough. Still the biggest division lead in the league though. Arrieta looking human several starts in a row worries me the most.

As a 50+ year Cub fan I have learned not to even look at the standings till September.

I go to the store and I see all the brand new shiny blue/white hats out there, I knew this was going to happen.

No chance in hell. They'd have to go 53-21 in the 2nd half. Ain't gonna happen. Their pitching seems gassed right now. Haven't had a quality start in their last 10 games and that includes 2 starts each by Arietta, Lester, and Lackey.
