Why are we so damn inconsistent? We SMACK the Brewers, who SMACKED the Pirates, but we get SMACKED by the Pirates???

I'm going to post what I've posted twice already:
It's only May, stop overreacting. You're not a real Cubs fan if you give up now.

If we keep this up, we're done. But, I've always been optimistic. Just I love football more, to be honest. Although I love all 3 ; football, baseball, basketball.

I don't know, I'm not so sure the future is all that bright for the Cubs. Over half the starters are hitting out of their minds right now (i.e. the longer they keep this up, the more likely it is they'll regress to the mean). Geovany Soto has a .348 BABIP, Fontenot an improbably .328 and Theriot and eye-popping .406.

On the pitching side, 3 out of the 5 starters have really low BABIPs, with marks of .277, .256, .240 for Gorzelanny, Dempster and Silva, respectively, so THEY are likely to regress as well.

So that's two phases of the game looking to avoid regression to the mean in the coming months...that's not looking good.
