The Cubs are above .500! The Cubs are above .500! They actually swept the Nationals over the weekend, and the bullpen is starting to look less and less like an amputees' convention. Sure Prior and Wood are injured, but that was a given, and their high points were 4 years ago.
I'm not making the call for playoff tickets any time soon, but if they keep playing like this, they'll move up in what's probably the weakest division in baseball. And they've got a better record than the White Sox, which makes me even happier.
