What is that from?!

Before they took the field during Z's last start.

 

But it's better if removed from context.

[Little Slide Rooter]

In really feel, at this point in time that the Cubs are the dominant team in the NL. Yes, we just came back from NL Cent whipping boys, but still, every starter is producing like crazy. Ramirez is coming to life, Theriot and Derosa are making us forget about Brian Robert, and if Soriano decides hes ready to play when he returns, we could be unstopable.

 

This series will be a test. Weve done great against the Astros, Pirates, and reds, as we should, but struggled against the Philles. If we can take 2 games from the Mets, I will believe.

I don't have a good feeling about this short series... But the match-ups are favorable.

Same - but we miss Santana, so at least that's on our side.

[Derwood]

i'm all for not starting the game threads for a few weeks, let's keep it rolling

[SouthSideRyan]

I'm guessing Johnson in LF, Pie in CF tomorrow.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

A win would be nice.

[UMFan83]

Everyone chill out, I can't take all this optimism!

 

But seriously, they have a long way to go to be considered the dominant team in the NL. They are playing like it right now though.
