alright, it is fine and dandy that the boys are winning and what have you, but i seriously am not going to be a believer in this team until they turn around their 0-8 is 2 runs or less games and their 0-3 in extra inning games record...

 

by a turnaround, i mean a winning record in those categories...you may call me a dreamer, but i truly feel that this team could go all the way this year...

 

i think that the series could quite possibly be the sox vs. the cubs...and the cubs can take em...in theory

 

however, i don't care if they go on a friggin 40 game win streak right now blowing the crap out of their opponents...if they don't turnaround those championship team categories...then they just will not have what it takes when it comes down to the nitty gritty

 

my 3 cents

 

I think if we can blow teams out for 40 straight games we'd be sittin pretty.

 

Do people not understand that blowing teams out is more impressive than winning close games?

 

I think its a pretty common misconception. Winning close games just means you got a little lucky and was evenly matched with another team.

 

Blowing a team out means you beat them in every sense of the game.

 

Or in this case it means they scored a bunch of runs on the Brewers worst pitchers.

Go deep again, Lee!

 

I'd rather a triple next time, who's the last Cubs play to hit for the cycle?

 

I think it was Grace, although I remember a game in I think 2005 where Lee easily had the cycle, but he simply stopped at 2nd. The Cubs were already blowing the crap out of the opponent in that game.

Enjoy the win man!

 

dude, i do enjoy the win...i am just looking for more

 

i have been enjoying the wins everyfewtimes this season...but then comes the heartbreak...and the heartbreak is not something championships routinely do in my opinion

 

I know but no need to pick apart the win. Would you rather the Cubs have scored less runs in the game so we could win a close one?

 

i am not picking apart this win...i love that they are winning...my mood is determined by the cubbies...so i have been a little bit of a basketcase this april...

 

but yes, given a choice...i would have rather had them win a close one today...one where they could celebrate in dramatic fashion around homeplate at the end

 

this team needs some of that mojo

Why has Hall suddenly decided to play defense in this season?

 

It's probably as simple as he's gotten more comfortable in CF.
