The Big Three = Clutch September
One thing's for certain, no matter what happens in the final 8 games of the season: the big three have been playing clutch baseball for us in the final month of the season. Whether it's Lee's average, Aram's rbi's or Soriano's HR's, these guys have showed Cubs fans why they get paid the big bucks.
Who are you voting for for player of the month?
Aramis
.301 AVG
.393 OBP.
1.064 SLG
7 HR
18 RBS
Lee
.351 AVG
.425 OBP
27 hits
6 2B's
Soriano
.293 AVG
10 HR's
17 RBI's
You pay for what you get, and without these three, we'd be nowhere. Add to that the amazing play of DeRosa in September, and the emergence of Geovany Soto, and you have the reason for our recent resurgence and success.
Making the playoffs is all about your big $$ guys play big $$ baseball, and our three have performed as well, if not better than any three in baseball this month. Clutch performances by clutch players as we chase the playoffs. Loving it.

Ramirez.
Soriano's been good, but IMO Ramirez has been better.

I agree Al -
That said, it's like all of these guys have flipped a switch and this team has come into it's own - as a solid, strong chemistry team. Different guys every game pulling through, with the big three in the lead. Now, if we can get Z on track, we might be able to beat a team like the Padres should we make it.....

My hats of this entire team....
I have questioned, as I think most people have, the heart and desire of these guys, because I did not think they had it in them. I also said that nothing would make me happier than for them to prove me wrong, which is what they have done so far in September. Better to show heart and fight in September than April and May, right? Seven games left, guys....you're doing great. Let's go get it!!
