Last night’s game may have been one of the worst Cubs games I’ve seen all season. They had the leadoff hitter on only once and then couldn’t get him in. The top part of the order–Soriano, Fukudome, Lee and Ramirez–looked lost. The fans weren’t having fun even before the first pitch. The tension was palpable.

I think they are trying to hard to be relaxed and patient and instead just look dead. Soriano took first pitch strikes on almost every at bat. Then he’d swing at two in the dirt. If I were Lou I’d order him to swing a the first pitch of the ball game.

Or maybe Lou is going to have to get thrown out or something to get every body fired up.
