Finally, a reversal of road fortunes
After spending the last two weeks trying to figure out which Cub team is for real, the 8-2 homestand team or the losing on the road too much team, I have new thoughts after the win in Pittsburgh Friday night. First off, Derrek Lee needs a day off but it will come when the whole team is off again. He is looking too good to give him a rest at this point. Just let it ride. Now to Soriano, I want to see him go full-out but I'm terrified he will get hurt again. It almost looked like he was walking to first on the double play ball. I hope that leg is really alright. Big Z, the best hitting pitcher since the Red Baron on the North Side, goes 4-for-5, what more can you ask for from him? Oh right, how about seven innings and getting the win. Get his ticket ready for the All-Star Game in New York. After this weekend, Cubs don't see the division for 5 weeks. Time to get these last two wins and go home for the Dodgers.

Good luck against the Dodgers, we'll pitch with you and slap some singles around the yard. No long balls here.
Who're the dumbest fans in baseball? Dodgers and Cubs are right there. We go to games no matter how pathetic the team.
