Stop what you're doing right now and look around you, remember where you are, what you are doing, because this is an historic day in Cubs history.
You'd have to be over 70 years old (and there may be a few here, but not many) to really remember the last time a Cubs team was 33 games over .500. It was on September 30, 1945, the last day of that pennant-winning season, when they finished 98-56, 42 games over .500, the highest-water mark of that year. It's not likely the 2008 Cubs will get that far -- but who knows, this team has surpassed any hopes even optimistic me had at the beginning of the season. This team is by far the best Cubs team in my lifetime.
So you are experiencing things that you never have, and that no Cubs fan has for decades.
Today, in a snappy two hour and seventeen minute 2-0 shutout of the Pirates, the Cubs turned to "small ball", as likely they, and the Pirates as well, were tired from last night's marathon and the short turnaround to a midday start today, under threatening skies that never did rain on Pittsburgh -- the game was short enough that the Cubs players might even be home for dinner tonight. It completed the Cubs' eleventh series sweep of the season (ten sweeps of three games or more and one two-gamer, the abbreviated series vs. the Mets in April).
The Cubs left RISP in the 1st, 4th and 5th innings and ran themselves out of another when Alfonso Soriano got picked off in the third. Let me not complain about Alfonso today, because he did have two of the Cubs' seven hits. By the time the seventh came along in the scoreless game, though, it was the bottom of the Cubs' order with many reserves and platoon partners playing that produced the winning rally, and it was bunts that were most important. Reed Johnson bunted his way on base and Mark DeRosa doubled him to third -- and then on a contact play, Johnson raced across the plate on a slow roller to third by Ronny Cedeno, and then Henry Blanco laid down a perfect suicide squeeze to score DeRo, Blanco's tenth RBI of the year. Henry has 97 at-bats and is having the finest offensive year of his career, in addition to providing valuable backup behind the plate to Geovany Soto, who got a well-deserved day off.
And that was enough for Marquis, who was outstanding today. Throwing only 95 pitches and walking nobody, he probably could have finished, but Carlos Marmol (16 pitches) and Kerry Wood (11 pitches, 7 strikes) finished up efficiently, Wood posting his 27th save, which is now tied for fifth in the NL despite the fact that Wood missed almost a month.
So that puts the pressure on both the Cardinals and Brewers as they see the score posted before they take the field tonight in St. Louis. Hard as it is to root for either of those teams, tonight I'm squarely in the Cardinals' corner, hoping they will help put Milwaukee six games behind the Cubs as the Cubs begin a seven-game homestand against the Phillies tomorrow at Wrigley Field. There are a couple of real interesting pitching matchups ahead of us this weekend, including the match between former A's teammates Rich Harden and Joe Blanton on Friday, and on Sunday junkballer Jamie Moyer will face Carlos Zambrano. Moyer made his major league debut on June 16, 1986, when a young Z had just celebrated his fifth birthday a couple of weeks before. (Do you think he smashed his face into a piece of birthday cake back then?)
Celebrate, everyone. Enjoy this, every moment. We're entering the last two months of the season flying higher than any Cubs team has in decades. And the best is yet to come.

My preseason prediction
As it is every single season, was 100 wins and then 11 more tacked on.
Most of the time, this is out of the picture by the all-star break. This year, who knows? Damn fun to watch, though!

Seems obvious the Bucs phoned it in
after the Cubs scored — especially in the manner that they did. Bucs came out literally, first-pitch swinging. I’m surprised Lou didn’t let Marquis continue on — since it sure looked as if the Bucs all had LUNCH reservations…..and wanted out ASAP.

15-14
gives us 98 wins and that is so attainable. Keep winning series, keep getting on mini-rolls and we should reach the century mark in wins with no problem.

Clean it up
dont want to be captain negative after a series sweep against a double A team but we gotta clean it up alot. We badly need to make a statement against a very possible playoff team this weekend. I’ve seen all the baserunning and defensive blunders I wanna see. I love Sori but he needs an old-fashioned ass chewing. Lets sting them Phillies and knock them out of contention for awhile and we will make it up to them when we sweep the mets next month.
p.s. anyone have audio problems during the game today? drove me nuts.

The last time the Cubs faced a truly good team...
… was the Brewer series at the end of July. We swept ’em.
I guess you could also count the Cardinal series, where we won two of three. I suspect the Cubs will raise their game against a tougher opponent than the Pirates.

Man, I don't know what to say.
This team’s greatness has left me rather stunned. It’s like my brain just can’t process the kind of dominant play they’ve treated us all to over the last few weeks.
Today’s win seemed so…effortless. Well, OK, Duke did shut the Cubs offense down for most of the game. But then it was like the team collectively said, “OK, you’re not gonna let us hit the ball, Buccos? Fine. Watch this.” RJ bunts…DeRo doubles…Cedeno puts a ball in play…RUN. Then SQUEEZE PLAY…RUN. Game over.
Of course, it helps to have Marmol and Woody around to come in and throw strikes. From what I can tell by looking at Gameday, Woody was particularly filthy today. What a crazy series – and what a fruitful season series vs. the Pirates.
Bring on the Phillies, indeed.
Yes, sir!

Marquis
My only regret is that Lou didn’t let him try to finish. But getting 7 good innings out of Marquis is such an unlikely event that it’s unlikely he could have done 8 or 9, so maybe Lou was being smart.
Meanwhile, Kerry has thrown three straight games (why the heck did Lou put him in last night with such a big lead, anyway?), so he’s no good for tomorrow. Marmol should be, however.

the only reason it is worth a mention...
whether you are Dem or Repub, you can’t help but notice the public works that happened in Atlanta when Jimmy Carter was Prez. To not think a Prez Obama won’t be good for the CTA problems that I hear many BCBers complain about and to think that he won’t have an impact on helping getting dollars into fixing Wrigley long-term, you are kidding yourself.
An Obama as President will leave Wrigleyville with a lot of Federal dollars flowing through it. So the mention is not political, it is just practical.
This is not an endorsement, I am just saying you can cut slack for those who bring it up.

Exactly. Here are the pitching matchups
Bush vs. Gorzelanny – ad Mil.
Suppan vs. Maholm – ad, Pitt, actually
Sabathia vs. Karstens – ad Pitt.
So it’s not out of the question for them to win 1 or 2

I don’t know you, and I haven’t been paying attention to whatever you’ve been doing.
This board is pretty clean, as in we can have civil discussion with out excessive swearing, slandering, etc. I swear once-in-a-while with no problem, mainly because it’s not attacking anyone nor excessive. I’d recommend checking it at the door, otherwise banning is commonplace. Just a heads up.

I think it's time to call a moratorium on being
scared of opponents. The Cubs have the best record in baseball. People are in fear of us. I don’t know about the rest of you guys, but I don’t fear anyone in the NL. The Cubs are a good solid ballclub that can stack up with anyone. The record is no fluke.
