Hmmm. Cubs have the best record in the NL. And tied for second in the MLB. Interesting. We have hitting AND pitching. I don't know the last time I saw that. Sorriano and Fukodome seem to be on opposite schedules so when one is hitting, the other isn't. If they ever get going together, it's going to be interesting. If we could get Sorriano to tighten up on some of his mental errors, I'd feel a lot better. I'd feel even better if Wood got completely on track in his closer role since he's been inconsistent at best.
For the record, it's May and the historical June Swoon has yet to start. We'll see what happens when they have to start playing in the heat of the day, every day. The real story in the NL Central is how long the Cardinals can keep going without major injury. Because as soon as that starts to happen, they'll slide back down the flagpole. They're not a particularly deep team this year.
