This is the sound of me officially writing off the Cubs' season. I was optimistic about the second half, but it was based on the assumption that the entire team would be back for the duration. Now Prior should be shut down for the rest of the year, and it appears 2 weeks later that Aramis should have been DL'd with his groin injury. All the news I hear is that the Cubs aren't going to be making a trade, either. The goal right now should be .500 baseball. And they've found another way to lose a game in which Clement pitched well. Without Aramis, the Cubs are scarily close to looking like the Brewers. Pathetic.
