AT THIS MOMENT THE CUBS ARE IN FIRST PLACE

[CubColtPacer]

first time they've been in sole possession of first place since April, 2004

 

Didn't we go up a game on the Crew earlier this season?

 

I'm pretty sure we haven't. Since we've been chasing the Brewers, the best we did was tie them for a few days.

[Careless]

Whenever someone mentions that they don't like the White Sox, why do 5 people have to let them know that they don't care about the White Sox? Just let them not like the White Sox, sheesh.

 

Uhh, "not caring" about the White Sox kinda equates to not liking them, doesn't it?? At least for me, that is the case. I am getting a big time kick out of them being bad this year... I just don't follow their games/box scores every single day is all.

You're confusing not liking with disliking.

People who don't care about/don't like the white sox are unaffected by their losing. People who dislike them are affected.

we were one win and one loss behind them at that point. it was a tie in games, a lead in %

It really is a glorious feeling!

Right now I'd like to see this team rip off about 9 of 11 or so and put a good cushion between them and the Brewers.

I went to bed last night thinking...Damn, it was a good day.

 

1. Re-signed Z to a good contract

2. Beat the Cardinals

a. Hill looked great

b. Jones looked great

3. We overtook first place

 

Not a bad day to be a Cub fan.

and zambrano is back to having incentive for the rest of the year after a slight lull. i'll hold back my excitement until we are 3 games ahead or so, however.

The way the Brewers are playing, 6 of 11 might build a good cushion.

Agreed. It would be sweet if we started by sweeping the Cards and putting them in the hole.
