The summer is half over, and you know what that means? It's time for the Cubs to turn the season around. With the top three spots in NL Central playing musical chairs, the Cubs still have a shot to beat out it's two rival teams for first place.
Although the All-Star break is still days away, the Cubs will not be able to rest until then. This Fourth of July weekend they face the Brewers, and right before the break they have a four game home series against current leaders, the Cardinals.
While today's current game against the Brewers looks pretty dismal (Brewers lead 7-2, Cubs have left 5 stranded on base. It's only the top of the 4th), the Cubs have won the last two games. Derrick Lee hit 2 home runs for a total of 7 RBI's, and several other Cubs have followed suit with big homers. Jake Fox also had an impressive RBI last night, walking with full bases to put Ryan Theriot in to win the game.
This does not sound like the Chicago Cubs we have seen this season, so maybe it actually is time to turn it around.

Injuries and the under performance of Bradley/Big Z are the reasons for the team's lackluster year so far I believe. Since Big Z's meltdown, he has pitched like doo doo. Milton Bradley is shaping up to be a complete bust. An expensive bust to be more specific.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless the Cubs play in the worst division in baseball. All 6 teams are within 10 games of one another which would be an amazing statistic...until you realize that they combined have the worst winning percentage in baseball...
Who knows who will win the division (hopefully Cards). I just have a feeling that the winner will be wiped out in the divisional round of the playoffs immediately.
