Cubs Look Like Same Old Flubs playerpresscom

Don't tell me it's early and they've only played to games. The Cubs have not been beaten that badly on opening day since the early days of the franchise when they were called the White Stockings. Opening day starter Carlos Zambrano gave up nearly eight runs in an inning and a half. still wonder why the Cubs still call "Big Z" the ace of the staff after he won a whopping nine game last year. And he has done horrendously on opening days in the past. Even when he wins he can't go beyond 4 innings like he did a couple of years ago. The Cubs have new owners. If I were the Ricketts family I would be looking to trade that s.o.b. and let him be someone elses headache. As in past years he had come to spring training with a new atitude and new acquisition Marlon Byrd claims the Cubs will outscore the Phillies this year. So far we cannot outscore the pitching staff. The Cubs players still look like deer in headlights. They leave their heart on the bus. At leas they're not the Bears claimig the get off the bus running. The Cubs hired a new hitting coach and I'm still waiting to see that one pay off. I am a huge Cubs fan and everyone is still saying it's only two games. I wonder what they will be saying after game 162 and it's another season out of the playoffs.
