2-1 start but offense sucks. Another 3 hit performance.

Too early to draw any conclusions other than it is better to be 2-1 than 1-2 or 0-3.
Shame on us for falling into the same trap Theo fell into. The lineup should be one of the best in the NL on paper if everyone plays at or close to potential, but eventually you can't win too many games with three hits (though they did manage 7 walks, but it is harder to make the opposing pitcher pay for walks when so many guys have an all or nothing plate approach) I guess we should enjoy it before Jed blows it up.
Joc Pederson is so far showing himself to be Mr. Arizona. Mr. Chicago, not so much. And a 50% strikeout rate. Maybe Ed Howard can play left field....
So far Kimbrel has had more good outings than all of last year, so there's that.

Bryant leads with .333...4 guys at .200 and .250...EVERYBODY else under Mendoza line. World Series, Baby.

Barely squeaked by the pirates at home for a series win. Expectations for this year remain extremely low.

Now even lower after soiling the bed after back to back blowouts to the same Pirates. LOL.

No hitters a possibility every game against Cubs lineup.

In retrospect, as the twilight likely settles on this cast of Cubs, the World Series win is even more amazing given how fast this thing has seemed to unravel.
I suppose the bottom line remains the same - don't develop pitching, don't stay relevant for very long.

Can somebody just fix the title to "The Cubs suck"? I think it's time. Fits better with the overall theme too.
