In what way has the pitching staff "imploded"? It was a rough day today, but the staff wasn't the only problem in the 8 runs. The staff has the 5th best ERA in the Majors, and it has a 3.59 ERA over the last 30 days. If the offense was even slightly competent with this pitching, the Cubs would be 6 games ahead of everyone in the division. The pitching is far from the problem here.

The thing you need to remember is that all Cardinals fans and all White Sox fans are very bad people. It's a fact that has been scientifically proven beyond a shadow of a doubt. Being a Cubs fan is the only path to rightousness and piousness. Cardinal and White Sox fans exist to be the dark, diabolical forces that oppose us. They are the yin to our yang, the Joker to our Batman, the demon to our angel, the insurgence to our freedom, the oil to our water, the club to our baby seal. Their happiness occurs only in direct conflict with everything that is pure and good in this world.
