Cubs win 4th straight


Ok off the Grace subject. I tend to get upset when people blame guys like Grace and Sosa for being the reason why the Cubs have sucked. Not vocal enough, Sosa makes too much money blah blah.

Anyways the Cubs are actually on a real honest to god winning streak and have managed to cut the gap in the NL Central to 1.5 games. I am actually getting that pennant fever! Zambrano won his 4th straight start to head to 10-8 on the year as the Cubs completed a 3 game sweep beating the Padres 9-3.

This is what alot of bloggers have been waiting for. For awhile thier it was really hard to get behind the Cubs and see which way this team was going. They would win 1 game then follow it with a loss, win 1, lose 1. The offense hasnt done any better its just that the pitching has been lights out since the all-star break.
With a solid 1-4 starting staff anything is possible down the stretch. Right now it seems the whole starting staff is in sync. And thats when you start rolling off winning streaks and making your run. Like duh. But were going to continue to have alot of 1 run games because of the anemic offense, but hopefully the pitching can keep the other teams down.
