The Twins had far better pitching last year when compared to the Cubs this year, but I do see your point.

Do you watch the Cubs?
First... "Theriot and Fontenot are terrible"?
- Theriot is hitting a respectable .277 in just his second year, and can play well at short or 2nd. Fontenot is hitting .331 through his first 37 games in the majors. How is this terrible?
Second... "Zambrano isn't even in the same galaxy as Santana"?
-Santana is 11-8 with a 2.94 ERA and 144 K's through 141 innings in 21 starts. Zambrano is 12-7 with a 3.69 ERA and 117 K's through 136.2 innings in 21 starts. Santana's good, but don't even pretend like you believe Z's not in the same galaxy.
Plus, after going 5-1 against the White Sox in interleague play this year, I highly doubt the Cubs would be in last place in the AL Central.
I'm not saying the Twins aren't good, but if you want to run your mouth, know your facts first.

Go Cubs Go is right. All the numbers are true. Not to mention Z is 7-2 with an ERA of 1.43 since the fight with Barret. Fontenot and Theriot both have respectable averages, but they can be used to hit and run, they can walk and steel bases, and they bring energy which is underrated. Not to mention, you might have to face Carlos Marmol who's been lights out.

zambrano isn't even in the same galaxy as Santana, and they also had Liriano for most of the year. Fontenot and Theriot are terrible. The AL is much tougher, the Cubs would be in last in the AL Central

I think so, that means the Cubs would win the NL Central and the Brewers would be the NL Wild Card to be the case, but that also would means the BREWERS are this year version of the Detroit Tigers that means they'll win the Pennant and get to the World Series.

They are the same as the Twins last year - No World Series.
