To help preview the coming series against the Chicago Cubs, we sat down with Joe Aeillo from an outstanding Cubs blog, View From The Bleachers . Go check out their site, they do some really cool stuff over there. I also prepared a short preview for them which I will post here once it gets put up. Anyways, Joe and I talked about Riggleman, Strasburg, Zambrano, and getting the Cubs back to the World Series.
The Nats Blog: Can this team as it stands make it back to the post season and compete for that elusive World Series title?
View From The Bleachers: I think, like any team, we have issues that need to be addressed. However, I'm fairly confident that a few can be filled from within, while the others can be brought in via trade or waivers. The bullpen is the biggest issue right now and it's been down right nasty. If you can keep the game close and knock the starter out...you've got a chance, and and very good one at that, to beat Uncle Lou's squad. Those issues will sort themselves out as the season wears on and right now I feel like this team can compete for a playoff spot. We're not going to be the favorites, but we can get there.
