Go Cubs Go!

Who woulda thought, that on May 29, 2008, that the Chicago Cubs and Tampa Bay Rays would have the best records in baseball? The Cubs maybe, but the Rays?

The Cubs are on a roll after sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers out of Chicago last night with a come-from-behind 2-1, 10-inning victory. The Cubs have always had trouble winning one-run and extra-inning games, but they've been able to do that with a little more regularity this year, not counting last weekend's implosion at Pittsburgh. But I digress.

In any case, they have a great chance to increase their NL Central lead over the surprising Cardinals and Astros with a four-game series against the Colorado Rockies. The defending NL champions look like anything but, with injuries knocking them for a loop. This is a good chance for the Cubs to flex some muscle against a team that could be really down in the dumps.

And while all is well and good at home, they've got to start winning a little more on the road. At least get to .500. They should have swept the Pirates last weekend, as Kerry Wood suffered a blown save in one game and Alfonso Soriano dropped what would have been the last out of the game the next day.

But that's all in the past now. Onward and upward. A special season continues.
