Dear Derek Lee:
We need to talk. Times are good for the Cubs (you know, since you guys have the best record and best offense in the NL), but I’m a little concerned with you. Yeah I’m impressed with your 14 home runs and 41 RBIS, which are solid numbers through the first couple months of the season, but what’s happened to you lately? After a smoking-hot start to the season, things just haven’t been the same.
Remember when you hit .371 in April? Well, I just checked and found out that you followed that up with .234 in May and .239 though the first two weeks of June. You’re average is still .286, but your struggles seem to have slid under the radar since the team is doing so well. If the Cubs are going to be playing in October, they’re going to need you firing on all cylinders. And since you’re one of the few players on the Cubs who have a World Series ring, you’re experience is just a tad bit important.
So how about a 10-game hitting streak? Or maybe a couple of multi-hit games in a row? Or back-to-back games with home runs? They might go a long way towards getting you back on track. This season is your chance to etch your names along sides the greats of Cubs history (Santo, Sandberg, Sosa, Williams, Banks). Don’t miss the opportunity.
Sincerely,
Cubs Fans
