What can you say...

about the Cubbies. After tonight's 7-1 win over the Redbirds, the Lovable ones now sit just two games behind Milwaukee in the N.L. Central and an astounding .5 game behind the Padres for the Wild Card. Wow, who woulda thunk it? Me, for one, but I am the ultimate optimist.

Where to begin, Jacque Jones, who I once said was the worst Cub ever, continued his hot streak by going 2-4 with an RBI and a spectacular catch in the first inning that robbed Poo-Holes of extra bases.

The rest of the team followed Jones lead by turning four, yes four, double plays. Cliff Floyd not only didn't get hurt, he even knocked in a couple of runs with a double off of the wall. Mighty Mike Fontenot chipped in with two RBI and the coolest Cub, Fonzie, fell a Homer shy of the cycle.

Theodore Roosevelt Lilly won his seventh consecutive decision, what a signing he was. Kudos Mr. Hendry. Lilly is now 11-4 with an ERA under 3.40 and WHIP under 1.09.

Watch out Brewers, watch out Padres, watch out every team in the league. THE CUBS ARE COMING.

AC000000...IT"S GONNA HAPPEN
