I'd say they need a season long solution. Borowski healthy is not a solution. The Cubs bullpen is screaming for forgetting the closer idea and finishing out games with their best reliever. For example, leave Hawkins out there for two innings instead of holding him back for the ninth only if they need someone to finish games out of the pen. Of course, many bullpens are screaming for putting their best reliever when the game is on the line, whatever inning that might be, when the starter needs help. But I imagine managers, including ours, will continue to put their second or third best reliever out there when the game is on the line while their "closer" sits and watches the game fritter away.That was my first thought, too, until I realized they need a 4-week solution, not a season-long solution.

"Rounding 3rd and heading for home, good night everybody"
ESPN is now reporting that JB is out up to 6 weeks. Not just 3-4. While I know that noone here cheers injuries, not even to Bonds and such, but really, is anyone going to lose sleep over the Cubs and their fans having to endure a 90 loss season? :mhcky21:
90 losses huh?
If anybody is losing 90 its the Reds.
You honestly think the Cubs will have more losses than the Reds?
Absolutely and would risk a wager as well on it.
I'll bet you 25 bucks to the Jimmy Fund that the Reds lose 90 before the Cubs. :allovrjr:
To the Jimmy fund? Not sure what that is, but I will take your wager that the Reds finish ahead of the Cubs, this season.
I'm wagering on the 90 losses, not placement... so if you want that 90 losses bet the winner gives 25 bucks to

If no one loses 90 games we'll each give ten.
Because we're good guys.
I'm on board with that. And let's face it. We both want me to winI'm wagering on the 90 losses, not placement... so if you want that 90 losses bet the winner gives 25 bucks to
