Second Half ThoughtsThursday, July 14, 2005Well, the second half of the season starts today, and I swear this page is going to be active again, and so since I still don't have time to do a proper post with facts and stuff, I'll fall back on the old reliable opinion. Where we stand now: 43-44: 12.5 games behind the Cardinals and 1 game behind the Astros. 3rd place in the NL Central. 6 games behind Atlanta in the Wild Card race with 5 teams in front of us. We have 75 games remaining. What the future holds: Although its a long shot, I still believe this team can/will make the playoffs barring another major injury. I believe Jim Hendry will make another substantial move before the deadline, and I'm wondering if Adam Greenberg and Matt Murton aren't being put on display for a possible trade. I look at the return of Prior and Wood to the rotation and the likely return of Nomar Garciaparra in August as significant second half advantages for this team. I see centerfield and leftfield as two gigantic problems for which at least one of these two positions should be filled via a trade. Personal Notes: So, I thought that once I graduated and wasn't in class and doing homework that I would have more time for my blogging efforts. It hasn't happened... yet. The real culprit behind my disappearance wasn't so much time as blogging burnout. I had been going daily since March and the blog became more of a stressor than a stress relief once I finished classes. I've spent the last three weeks working full-time at my computer lab job and have been bogged down with orienting new students. Its a lot of work and has left me finding it difficult to concentrate on posts. I've also been in the hunt for a full-time 'real world' job. So, I've been up to Chicago and Indianapolis on interviews, and spending my free time ironing clothes. :^) Anyhow, nothing has particularly changed aside from the fact that I have decided I don't want to let The Cubdom go dormant. I've worked too hard at building up readers and I know I'll regret it if I throw it away because of two months of too much stress. So, for the next few weeks things will probably still be a little sporadic, but I want to update at least four times a week. Sorry for the layoff, keep coming back.

Love that optimism, Byron. So refreshing compared to the other soldiers in the CBA!
Hey, I'm just glad you're posting again! It's just not the same without you!
