There's nothing I like more then writing a post on BCB after a nice Cubbies victory.  I have 6 words that are probably more premature then anything that has ever been said here, I can't wait until the fall.  That's right, I said it.  I guess technically it's 7 words but who cares.  We have a team here, ladies and gentlemen, that's capable of great things.  This is not meant to guarantee anything because, well, nothing in life is guaranteed.  Just like Wood and Prior are no longer guaranteed, but again, who cares.  From what I've seen, I like our chances against anyone...

I've seen signs too Al

The last two games we have looked like a team on a mission.  And although this obviously can't last for 157 more games, but......wait, what if it can?  What if Wade Miller is a solid #5 starter (which I'll take) and our other four starters just keep pitching like they have been?  I'm ranting, let me get back on track here.

I have grown to appreciate MLB.tv because, to tell you the truth, it's nice to hear another team's perspective from their broadcasters.  It's especially nice when all they constantly talk about is how, "this cubbies line-up is gonna do some work this year" or, "YIKES" after Z K's the side in the first inning, or, "there aren't too manyy first basemen who make that play".  It's nice, FOR ONCE, to be respected and almost feared.  That is why I can not wait until the fall, with the talent on this cubbies team (and possibly added talent with wood and/or prior) there is no reason to be contending for something come the time the ivy is going through it's beautiful foliage.    

And of course I can't go through any sort of diary without mentioning Lou Piniella.  Again, it's early, but I absolutely love what he's teaching these 'kids' and just his impeccable timing in every asset of the game.  Let's keep it goin, and until something bad happens, I'm gonna keep writing these random diaries.
