Chasing What???

I talked about Cubs.Com yesterday and how I only really check it for the Injuries and the Dusty's Fired post. But I can't do it any more. Its almost like big brother is writing these articles. Check out this one called Thrill of the Chase. Dusty talks about this being his favorite time of year because the Team's behind and its just so Fun to be in that position!! WHat a bunch of Propoganda BS. I'm trying to figure out who is in more denial, Dusty for saying this stuff or Carrie Muskat for printing it without laughing. The funny part of the article comes just moments after talking about this being the "Fun" part of the year and Carrie laid this gem on us:

The Cubs started the day 6 1/2 games back, which is not an impossible feat, Baker said. But winning the Wild Card isn't the team's No. 1 goal. The Cubs entered Monday's game four games under .500. That's a problem. (really)??

"No. 1, we've got to get back to .500. That's how it is. That's our first task," Baker
said.

So, If i'm hearing this right, its "fun" to be 5 games under .500, and fun to be behind 6 teams. (including the brewers) What part of this second paragraph would make any reader think that Dusty hasn't completely lost his mind talking about still being "in it" . (Also, why wasn't staying above .500 the first task when Murton was riding the pine while Holly and Burny did their best '05 Sammy Sosa impersinations)

Its time, ONCE AGAIN!!! To sell the scrap and keep the gold, let some of these guys get picked up by ACTUAL CONTENDERS and get some good youngsters in return. Does anybody doubt that Hairston, Walker, Holly, and Nomar couldn't help someone out for the next 7 weeks. Especially because any other Manager would know how to use them better than dusty. I hate to be so down on a team that I love so much, but this stuff is absolutely infuriating. btw~~ Maybe Jerome Williams should spend more time discussing scouting reports and watching film than working on his "Luck".
