By gametime, I won't be surprised to see that Adam Dunn and Randy Wells have been added to the rosters. I was initially taken aback by Aramis Ramirez's decision yesterday to turn down an All-Star invitation, but now I'm with him.
Admit it Chicago, you've probably never relished the All Star break as much as this year. Mind you, I said the break and not the All Star game itself.

It was a bad time for the Cubs to face Kansas City right-hander Luke Hochevar. It was an afternoon start and Hochevar excels in day games. Hochevar won again under the sun and Alex Gordon extended his hitting streak to 13 games with an RBI double in a four-run first inning as the Royals beat Chicago 6-3 on Sunday.
Although the Cubs have been playing better over their last few series, the club still sits under .500 and it's looking more and more like they won't be able to hang around and contend in the division.
There has been a lot of disappointment and anger about the 2011 White Sox. It's justified. The Sox have underachieved. They're still two games under .500.
