That's what it seems like to me. It seems like they don't care.

It seems like Lou has given up. Why else would he bring a kid into a bases-loaded, nobody out situation for his first major league appearance? The kid did fine, but it was a very odd move. A move that smacked of surrender.

Are the Cubs more focused on booing to worry about a little thing like a division race? The Cubs hit into five double plays last night and showed very little interest in hitting.

I don't want to be all doom and gloom, but these games coupled with the backlash against the fans screams tailspin. Hopefully the Cubs can pull out the last two and make this post moot.

Oh, and for all those who missed it, Zambrano apologized. I don't think his teammates think he needed to, but he did anyway.

"The first thing I want to do is apologize to the Cubs fans," Zambrano said. "There were some moments [Monday] when I was angry. When human beings are angry, they say a lot of things they shouldn't say, and I am human. I made a mistake, and the thing about me is that when I make a mistake, I know I have to apologize and do the correct thing. "This comes from my heart. I love these fans. I love the Cubs fans. I think they're the greatest fans in baseball, and you know, they have the right to boo people or to do whatever they have to do because they've been waiting 99 years [for a World Series championship] and sometimes we don't do a good job and they get frustrated too.

Carlos loves you. Does everybody feel better now?
