HALF WAY HOME!

 Well, we've reached the imaginary half way point in the baseball season with the all-star break so it's time to hand out the report card for Chicago baseball.

Worst baseball team....Sox. We knew they would be bad but this bad?

Most disappointing team......Cubs were the co-favorite to win the division. Baseball writers recently gave them this award and I agree.

Guys not earning their LARGE paychecks..... DANSBY SWANSON...ANDREW BENINTENDI

South Side Guys who should not be on a major league roster......JASON LEASURE...MIKE SOROKA...MARTIN MALDONADO......DANNY MENDICK....ELOI JIMENEZ

North Side Garbage.....KYLE HENDRICKS....HAYDEN WESNEWSKI....TOMAS NIDO...MIGUEL AMAYA...MILES MASTROBUONI....CHRISTOPHER MOREL...PATRICK WISDOM

Sox most like to be traded this month....MICHAEL KOPECH...TOMMY PHAM...ELOI JIMENEZ...ANDREW VAUGHAN...LUIS ROBERT...PAUL DEJONG (maybe 20 more)

Cubs to be traded in July.....None because they still believe they're a playoff team😮😮

Worst manager....PEDRO wins hands down. Very very bad.

Best non-pitcher on the Sox...I guess it would be LUIS ROBERT if he can stay healthy.

Best non-pitcher on the Cubs...it's a tie. MICHAEL BUSCH and SEIYA SUZUKI.

Best park...GUARANTEED RATE FIELD

Best food...GUARANTEED RATE FIELD

Best Parking....GUARANTEED RATE FIELD

Best Tailgating...GUARANTEED RATE FIELD

Best pre-game drinking spots...Wrigleyville

Best post-game drinking spots...Wrigleyville  

Best place to buy drugs...Wrigleyville

Best place to buy drugs inside the park...Bleachers in Wrigley  

Not much more to say. One team is rebuilding and has ZERO chance of competing for the next few years and the other has continued the freefall that started in 2018 with key players getting long in the tooth. KYLE HENDRICKS, SHOTA IMANAGA, MARK LEITER, HECTOR NERIS,DREW SMYLY, JAMESON TALLION, TOMAS NIDO, DAVID BOTE, DANSBY SWANSON and PATRICK WISDOM are all over 30 and that ain't good.

I guess we can all keep our fingers crossed for the Bears. Later.
