Say Hello To First Place

I have just returned from a ill-advised trip to Mexico and what do I see? The Cubbies in first place.

Matt Murton scored on a wild pitch in the bottom of the 9th to send the Cubs to the top of the Central Division with a 5-4 win over the Phighting Phils. The Mets beat the Brewers 8-5 and now the lovable ones are percentage points ahead of the Beer Makers.

How did they do it? Well, first of all, ever since Sweet Lou went Loco on June 2nd, the Cubs have been the best team in baseball. Also, they've been playing like a team and have received unlikely contributions from Jacque Jones, Murton, Ronny Cedeno, Jason Marquis and a bunch of other nobodies.

Murton went 2-4 with a RBI, Rich Hill didn't pitch great but knocked in a run, Cedeno had an RBI, Jones had an RBI and most importantly, The Cubs Won.

For the first time since April 12, 2006 the Cubs are in first place. Enjoy it Baby because they are there to stay.
