Yep. You heard it here first. The Cubs are currently in last but this team has the best starting pitching in the division and their bullpen and offense cant possible be any worse than it has been thru the first 35 games. This team is starting to come around after a terrible start.

Last night was the first time this year they won back to back road games
I hope you are right rmilia. But are you high or drunk (J/K).

If we actually had good hitting and relief pitching and there was evidence that they were just having a flukily bad start, I might agree with you. The unfortunate reality is that all the evidence suggests that no, they just suck. If anything is fluky, it is the good pitching, as 3 of 5 starters have ERAs well beneath their career bests.

Yeah I dont think the hitting and the relief pitching are world beaters by any means but I do believe they are better than they have been thus far. Cubs have the worst batting average in baseball with runners in scoring position ( substantially lower than their overall BA) this will even out eventually . The relief pitching is more of a concern but I think that is simply going to be rectifiied by not pitching Marmol and Wood as much. The other guys have been OK. I seriously think there isnt a team in this division thats any damn good and in that scenario Ill take the team with the best starters every time.

I just traded Matt Garza for a mint in fantasy as he is pitching a lot better than his career average.

I mean, it was a win/win as I still have Halladay, Verlander, Strasburg, Zimmerman and Lincecum on my auto-drafted staff.

Dempster has an ERA of 1.74 and the Cubs can't even get him a win.
