Statistics and common sense will tell you that the Cubs can’t possibly keep being so terrible with runners on base. Of course, statistics and common sense will tell you that the top franchise in the early history of baseball, playing in one of the nation’s largest cities, won’t go more than a century without winning the World Series.

Just checking in on some ex-Braves and ex-Braves prospects…
Chuck James has had a couple of bullpen stints with the Twins this year, his first major league action since 2008. His first one he didn’t give up a run; his second was fairly disastrous and his ERA stands at 6.10. They seem to have been using him as a long reliever, not a lefty specialist. His minor league ERA is 1.86.
