It is time to send Lackey out to pasture. His time has come and gone. The guy spots the opposing team 2-4 runs in the first inning almost every outing. By the time he "settles" in, the offense is in a deep hole. The FO needs to bite the bullet, cut their losses in his acquisition, and 1. Move Montgomery into the starting rotation OR 2. Plan on selling the farm at the trade deadline for at least 1 BIG TIME starter (No need to try to resign Jake for what his asking price will be.) or 3. Cut our losses this season and ride it out hoping to get 2 major starters in the off season. In my opinion, the starters have placed a lot of pressure on our offensive production right from the start of the game. In Lackey's 4 wins, how many have been come from behind wins due to our offense bailing him out of a poor start? Unfortunately, much could be said about our other starters. My, how the mighty have fallen! And what is even crazier...the Cubs are still only 1.5 games out of first! Just about the time I think this team is going to get hot, we drop 2 of 3 or 3 of 4 at home. Oh well, I guess I can always go back and watch highlights from last year! Hoping this team finds its way before the AS break and finishes off the season in the playoffs. Go Cubs Go!
