Wasn't expecting a win today even against the lowly Astros. Rodrigo Lopez was starting, that's pretty much all I need to say.
This starting rotation was way overvalued by management during spring training. Despite the injuries to Wells and Cashner, the Cubs haven't been getting enough consistent production out of Dempster, Garza and Zambrano.
Though, I will say Dempster has been much better in May. Hopefully when Garza comes back he'll get it going and seeing Wells get into a groove would be nice too...

Brief thoughts from the game today:
The balk that wasn't called was frustrating, but not nearly as frustrating as the fact that no complaints came from the cubs dugout.
The wind was blowing out, all day, and I think we laid down about 6 bunts.
Campana is so fast, he makes fast people look slow.
Quade couldn't manage his way out of a dry paper bag...let alone a wet one.
I miss Ryno...and the dude never got a chance to coach here.

I still will defend the rotation. 20-15 when we have our starting pitcher from the original rotation going.
I will take that. If we were healthy I honestly think we would be at the very least in contention.
Can't win when you have guys like Doug Davis and Rodrigo Lopez taking up starts.

Not to mention James Russell, who has no business being on a major league roster, let alone in the starting rotation.

That is true. As much as I hate it, maybe it'll rise his stock and JH can trade his ass.

Why does seemingly everyone on here want Dewitt gone so bad? He doesn't get any playing time until an entire starting outfield goes on the DL. Yet more people were upset with Theriot leaving.
