Yea the bats got hot late against the falling Braves. It was 6-5 with only a one run lead. Low and behold Soto smacks a three run jack. Another RBI. and hey we win 10-5.
Is this the year? Guess we wont know till October. I will tell you what though, as a Cub fan forever, I will enjoy the ride. It has been a long time since we played this well. It has been a long time since we held are breath till the big guy came in and hit a home run.
This team plays long ball, short ball, and all team ball. For the first time in recent memory, the Cubs have hitting coming in from everyone. Even Soriano is getting in on the short game. If say Lee, and Ramirez are a little off, Theriot and Fukodome have great games.
The man behind it all. Lou. The man making the guys play. He has the Bullpen pitching when needed. Rsting when they can. He will double switch even if it means pulling the bat of Soriano. He isn't thinking what they will think tomorrow. He is thinking how to win today.
Another great thing. We have been just a team that looks like they are having fun. Out there playinf the game like they are kids again. The smiles. The high fives. When the can just always look like they are enjoying the game, that is a great team.
Yea I am a Cubbie fan till the end. Yea I have not seen a Series team in my life time. Could it be this year? I will tell you in october. But till then, this Cub fan is going to enjoy the fun on the field.

I'm a Lou Pinnella fan, have been since he managed the Mariners. This has led me to following the Cubbies. Seems like they are over-achieving and just maybe it's Lou... Here's hoping they can keep it up and play out what would be one of the biggest stories in the history of baseball...
This is basically the same team that won the division last year. The difference is this year that is not going to be good enough for them.
Lou is the best thing to happen to the Cubs in a long while. He is the reason they are playing the way they are. I agree with just about everything you wrote, including that we will see in October.
Well I am a Father of an awsome 9 yearold junior flaggman. Together we are the biggest racefans. We have an awsome diecast collection and love to get to any races we can. I became a fan with my mother, and now my son with me. I work full time as a machinist, and father. This will be something new and enjoyable, I will also get my sons view and let you no that as well. Well now about the teams and drivers we like. I am a Hendrick fan #24 preferably, and Noah my son Roush and the #17. So last spring was fun when we went to Bristol.
