I'm always bullish on the Cubs this time of year, but I must confess to being a little worried
about our rotation. Lilly has been our best starter for awhile now.
Now, no Ted.
No Dick Harden to give us a chance at upside.
Randy Wells was a pleasant surprise last year, but he was such a unique case, that I worry whether he'll be able to repeat his performance the second time around the league.
Z and Dempster are, by their very nature, erratic and unpredictable.
We don't have a "rock" that we can count on. We have nobody in AAA who projects as a "breakout" possibility. I really liked Guzman as a possible closer, and he's gone.
I freaking sound like Negative Jim.
Someone, please talk me off the ledge.

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
