That may go down as the most befuddling turn of events in my Cubs-fan life. It was like for one year, with one guy, we somehow got a hold of the pixie dust ourselves for once. Most of our lineup was on that dust that year. Cubs OBP went 333, 354, 333 from 07-09. 08 was unlike anything we had experienced before with the whole lineup working counts and taking walks. In the regular season, of course.
