Go Cubs Go.....right into last place

Is it me, or has it just gotten downright painful to watch the Cubs this year? Derrek Lee is a shell of his former self, Aramis Ramirez is on the D.L., again, and the pitching is as up and down as it gets.  Ted Lilly almost threw a no hitter last week, but today he was closer to a no outer.  Nobody is hitting, but at least they went out and got the top hitting coach in baseball.  Rudy Jarimillo has not done anything positive for this team.  They are all swinging at garbage, and have no plate discipline.  Marlon Byrd is the only bright spot this season, and the only player holding his own.  He's even playing BETTER than advertised.  Sadly, he is the only one.  Hopefully they will stay out of the race as the July 31st trade deadline approaches and try to dump some salary and try and rebuild.  That's going to be a difficult task considering how much of their money is tied up in Soriano, Fukudome, and Lilly.  Those would be the easy choices to trade, but who is going to take on that kind of money for so little production.  I may be unfairly grouping Ted Lilly with those other two, because he hasn't failed quite as bad, but his salary is just too damn high.  Those are tough deals, but they may be necessary or we'll still be praying for a World Series win for more years to come.  Just in case we haven't waited long enough.
