Terrible

Wow where to start. Cubs are terrible, Jones is terrible.

Barrett vs. Zambrano is a pretty good fight and it seems like Zambrano won. Mentioning that was just a segue in talking about how bad the Cubs are. Worst franchise in the history of baseball. As good as Wrigley is as a field I think they need a new one to get away from all the curse there, if there is one team to believe is cursed it is them. They can fill there roster with as big money players as they want and everyone on the team just forgets how to play baseball. They can't run, they can't field, they just can't play. Funny thing is the team doesn't have that many errors and has a good run differential. They just never do things at the right time. Also, Lou just doesn't fit their style of how they need to play. What a terrible team. Talking about managers lets me breeze right in to talking about Leyland, not the worst manager, but by far the most overrated. You have to be pretty good of a manager to take a team thats 20 under .500 and have them play 20+ over the next season, but it is a lot easier to manage when things are going good than when things are going bad. Francona looks amazing this year because his starters are giving him innings, his relievers are all doing well, and the hitters are hitting when they need to. Tigers starters last year were giving the team more innings and because of that Leyland does not know how to manage a bullpen when he needs to because he is to worried about overusing it. Who in their right mind would leave Jones in for 46 pitches (over half as Maroth pitched). Now obviously not everyone that was screaming to take Jones out of that game would make a better manger than Leyland but it does make you think. Also, this isn't the first time that Leyland has made a lot of mistakes as manager, see the final stretch of last season. I'll end with why walk left handed Trot Nixon to get to the right hander, but than leave Jones in to face left handed Dellucci when Bobby Seay is up and ready. This team needs a lot of changes if they are going to take the division.
