Baseball Season Has Begun

So the 2011 Major League Baseball season is underway, and there is already some concerning storylines. Obviously the season just started, and there are many games to go, afterall a baseball season is more like a marathon than anything else. The Boston Red Sox woke up today and find themselves 0-5, when they are one of the most talented teams, so as a Cubs fan does that mean I shouldn't be worried yet as they sit 3-3? Difference is I know the Red Sox will be there at the end, they have a lot of talent, and started off slow last year. They can't be too worried, Baltimore and Toronto are tied for first in the East, the two doormats of the division. It is very early, and you can always tell when the Royals are sitting at the top of the American League Central. The Cubs find themselves in the middle of the pack of the Central. The good news is the Cardinals are struggling and are at the bottom. The concerning part is that the Cubs are 3-3 after playing two of the worst teams a year ago. On top of that, Cashner and Wells go on the disabled list already with Cubs traveling to Milwaukee for a weekend series. I want to see the Cubs get 2 out of 3 from the Brew Crew. I want to see Big Z bring it, and for Garza to continue to strike people out, but not give up all those hits. I wouldn't mind seeing the Dempster of 2009 either, so far he is throwing batting practice. Soriano is off to a nice start with 3 homers in 6 games, and Castro looks like mid-season form, and ready to bring it day in and day out. The biggest issue has always been consistency with hitting with this team. Soriano, Bryd, Pena, and Rameriz can all hit 30 homers a piece if they are consistent and healthy. I guess we will see if low expectations bring a looser ballclub or the same old Cubbies of high payroll and low production.
