Everybody knows what the offense can do. It's just inconsistent. The pitching, both bullpen AND rotation needs help. The rotation is comprised of Gallardo, and then 4 guys who have ERA's above 4. A team cannot enter the playoffs with Looper, Bush, Suppan, Burns, and Parra. McClung is in a funk, and Villy has been inconsistent this year, too. Otherwise, Stetter, DiFelice, Coffey, and Hoffman have been very pleasant to watch. The 3 H's (Hall, Hart, Hardy) have unperformed this season. Cameron was looking great, but then tailed off. Weeks' injury was a major buzzkill. McGehee stepped up huge, and looks like he belongs on the team. Lopez has looked good in the 2 games he's played with the Crew, and was MUCH needed for the lineup. Counsell has done his part as veteran UTIL infielder. The bench needs a huge upgrade, as well. Gerut has done absolutely nothing since the trade. Rivera plays once every blue moon. The Cat has been decent, but nothing worth being excited over. I don't like hearing all the negativity about how "we need to be sellers because this team just isn't good enough." I agree the team isn't playing good right now, but what's saying we can't have another month like May? If we can make another huge trade before the deadline, or even a couple of smaller trades, either way they should improve the team somehow. We need guys in the rotation, the bullpen, and for the bench. If we have to spend or take on a little extra money to get these spots filled, then so be it. All I know is people don't want to be paying to see an average team in September while the Cubs or Cardinals are fighting over the division.
