Days Go Baez

(Music Puns #7: Really had to stretch with this one)

For the second season in a row, the Cubs can't seem to get things done in April.

I don't know what it is about this once-proud team that leads to this sort of stumbling, as not a lot has changed in the participants, but it's definitely worthy of nothing. Yu Darvish hasn't been playing like himself at all, Anthony Rizzo and Addison Russell aren't hitting, and Tyler Chatwood & Jose Quintana haven't been playing especially well either.

And it's a hard thing to stomach considering that a lot of people, including Jon Lester, Kris Bryant, Albert Almora, Javier Baez, and SURPRISINGLY Kyle Schwarber, are doing pretty well. This isn't a completely bad team, but a number of bad performances have been dragging them down. Right now, three teams, including the Brewers, Pirates, and...oh no...THE CARDINALS (castle thunder) are ahead of them in the standings, with the (sigh) latter team heading up the division. It's proving that the 'battle to overtake the Cubs' may not be as difficult as the sportswriters were leading on.

Again, it may only be April, and they may come around, but...it's worrying, especially for a team who have made the NLCS for the past three years.

Coming Tomorrow- One of the standouts of a team making a serious run at the AL West.
