But 8 hours of batting practice is a bit much, if only because the Cubs don't have the facilities to accommodate that. Oh, and because then guys would be dog ass tired for the games.

They can't hit. It is time for Lou to insist upon 8 hours of hitting practice every day for every Cubs player. In fact there should be a fine for every missed ball. Bring up the pitchers from the minors and have them throw pitches at the pitiful Cubs Missers until they are able to hit the goddamn ball. Now if Lou cannot do this then he should get the hell out of Chicago. But if he has the least amount of honor and loyalty he will force these prima donnas into 8-hour days of batting practice. That's my advice and if Lou don't do, then Lou should blow. End of story The number one problem with the Chicago Cubs is hitting. They can’t hit.
