Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Setting up for May

April will be the most important month of the year for the Cubs....

Star-divide

I know that Wood, Prior, and Miller will probably all be out at least until the end of April or early May, with that said the rotation has two solid spots in Zambrano and Maddux and three weak spots, Rusch, Williams, and whoever takes the fifth spot.  Since the Cubs won't need a fifth starter until the middle of April that will certainly help the team.  As a Cubs fan this situation looks like if the Cubs can hang around the division within a few games of the top for april the Cubs may be in the drivers seat then when they are able to add Wood and Prior and even Miller a little latter on.  To me the Cubs season may the month of April.

It's not unrealistic...
...when you look at the month of arpil for the Cubs to finish with a 13-10 record. The key will be to stay at or above .500 until mid to late may. As disappointed as I am with Hendry for his dishonesty and not having a plan b for this injury prone pitching staff, it's not out of the realm of possibilities to stay a couple of games above .500 if and when they can get their starting staff back together.
