Phil Rogers has a pretty good article about the Cubs offense and some other things.

Manager Tony La Russa might not be declaring victory yet, but I'm not bound by diplomacy. The Cardinals are simply too good for the Cubs and everyone else in the Central, including Houston with or without Jimy Williams.

I have to agree, it was always a matter of whether the Cardinals got good enough pitching for their offense and the answer is they are getting much more than they expected.

Given the way Zambrano was jumping around Monday night, making a fool of himself by giving an extra-large, Johnny Petraglia-after-a-300-game fist pump after striking out Mike Matheny to end the fourth inning down only 2-0, you'd think it was the Cubs whom other teams were trying to catch.....

It's time to do better. Either that or develop some humility.

The Cubs are acting like a team in first place but playing like a .500 team. And it is time to do better, Rogers has called out Sammy Sosa as well in the article because we need him more than ever now. Read the whole thing.
