... Rawhide! Sorry. Had a Blues Brothers moment there.But you get the picture. My Cubs continue to play very good baseball, taking two of three from the Toronto Blue Jays over the weekend. Now it's a trip to Tampa to take on the upstart Rays. It'll be manager Lou Piniella's first trip back to Tropicana Field since he managed the team from 2003-2005. I'm sure he's getting a kick out of seeing his former team playing so well, knowing that a lot of the guys currently on the field for the Rays he helped bring along.
But I'll also bet he's loving Chicago right about now, too. The Cubs are 20 games above .500, with a 3 1/2-game lead on the St. Louis Cardinals, who continue to hang close despite losing Albert Pujols, Adam Wainright and Yadier Molina to injuries in the past couple of weeks. The Cubs lost Alfonso Soriano to a broken hand, so the injury bug seems to be biting both teams fairly.
This weekend the White Sux come to Wrigley for the first of two crosstown series. Both teams are in first place, so it should be a battle royale.
May the best team (the Cubs of course) win.
