PrintWe all know this month long offensive funk as been painful. You're gonna either laugh or cry. So let's laugh and have some fun, eh?
It feels like the Cubs are never gonna start hitting, let's start a tongue-in-cheek list of things that have a better chance of happening before the Cubs find their offense. It'll start the the list off.
- Aaron Miles get's hot and locks down 2B for the remainder of the season.
- The Cubs re-sign Mark Derosa
- Lou takes Soriano out of the lead-off spot.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.

I'm as tall as one.
And back in my high school days, I was known as “scrappy.” So while I’m not currently employed by the Cubs, I like my chances.

A series will occur at new Yankee Stadium without a home run
by wrigleyville-Jerry on Jun 18, 2009 11:06 AM CDT reply actions
I wonder what the record is
For longest time between series without a homer.
Or how many series it took a new ball park for there to be one without a home run
