Just a couple of things. Lilly pitched a very good game. Fukudome needs to be moved down to the 8th spot in the order. He is not good at baseball.

WTF?!?!?!?!?If this team doesn't learn how to play on the road soon enough, especially a "offensively good", right-handed dominated team, at the Band Boxes of ALL Band Boxes...

2 runs in 18 innings, 2 losses of course as the Cubs try to piss away the division. Pretty good job so far as St. Louis is only 2 out and Milwaukee is 3 out.

Tyger asked if I could do the Brewers and Cardinals like I did the Cubs earlier today. I probably won't get to the Cardinals until tomorrow at the earliest, but I did do the Brewers who everybody seems to think is the Cubs toughest competitor in the NL Central.

I'm going to post the math behind this later on, but thought I would just throw it out there right now to see what you guys think. Using Tango's WAR (Wins Above Replacement) formulas and the in-season ZIPS projection tool, I calculated how many wins above replacement the Cubs 8 starting position players and 5 starters would contribute over the rest of the season.
