Cubbies above 500 this late in the season is definitely a reason to be optimistic (I am, of course, the eternal optimist as is every Cub fan). Didn't like the series with the Dodgers (where did the offense go?), but Prior looks like he is back in top form again. Woods pitched a good game Monday (9 strikeouts but still lost), but the Cubs bats went to sleep again. I like what Dusty has done to this ballclub and I don't think this is the year, but we can say (as we usually do): "just wait until next year". I think the Cardinals and Astros are better this year-the Cubbies just don't have enough offense since Patterson as well as Grudzielanek got hurt. Go Cubs!
