No way, WOJC's Ralpho picture is so much better I know, but Google doesn't seem to have it.  Brian probably has it saved somewhere, though. |

Cubs up 7-3... I usually don't make posts talking big, because I don't like to gloat and I'm usually a negative person in general about my team's chances... but I'm going to call it now: the Cubs will win this division.
Young teams, and teams very unfamilar with winning always seem to fade... the Tigers are one exception in recent memory I can think of.
In recent years, the Reds, Marlins, Phillies (several times), Indians, Rangers... all are teams that have faded out the past 2-3 years atleast once.
And I realize the Cubs are a team that isn't really acustomed to winning, and hell, I'm probably partially being biased here... but for the rest of the season, I truly believe they're in a much better position to make a run at the divison than any other team in the central, and the Brewers are going to fade.
Been Sheets never can make it through a full year... I will be shocked if he manages to. He's a fantastic pitcher, and is having a fantastic year, but I just don't think he's going to last the full season. He will miss time. Capuano is the same way, only he's already begun to miss time, and I don't think this will be his last trip to the DL.
The bottom of the rotation isn't really stellar either, and sending Yovani to the pen may be the biggest mistake they could make. Take a top-3 spect in baseball, and send him to the pen, only to probably switch him back whenenver you need a starter again. That's how injuries happen, it's known fact.
But back to the rotation, I like Vargas, but he's still pitching over his head. Bush is better than he's been, but again, he's not going to fool anybody and if Sheets and/or Capuano goes down for an extended period of time and he has to move up in the pecking order...
Cordero is a beast, I love him, but he will breakdown... you can't throw as much as he has in the first half of the year, without some wear and tear down the stretch. And that's going to bite them in the ass when they need to turn to Derrek Turnbow when he winds up on the DL.
As for the offense, it's completely legit... they've got a great balance of players, and Prince Fielder is this year's Ryan Howard. JJ Hardy's complimenting him nicely too... even though he won't keep up the pace.
All of this rambling was pretty random analyzing, but my point is... they will slow down, and their pitching isn't going to stay 100% healthy.
Let it be known too, if there's one team in the Central I'd cheer for outside of the Cubs, it's the Brewers... I like their squad, but I honestly believe with the way the Cubs are finally playing, to their capabilities, they will catch the Brewers by August 1st at the latest. The Brewers are too young, and have too players who are prone to miss time or fade down the stretch. They're about a year and a pitcher away from really competing, especially once Yovani is completely ready.
Of course, the Cubs could go on and lose 5 straight after winning these 5 in a row, and I'll look back on this post and not know what I was thinking. But I really feel good about this team and their chances right now.

Yeah that post was totally random, but what can you do. I felt like rambling even though there was no discussion on the matter.

If the Astros would go back to their 80's uniforms, maybe they would win.

Cardinals could very well take it, not to take away from Nick or the Cubs, I would go with the Cardinals IF IF IF
Carpentar and Mulder come back and contribute, and Maroth is decent.
Thats 3 very solid arms coming to help the team
