Cubs punish White Sox
Despite the injury to Alphonso Soriano, and the disturbing news that Carlos Zambrano is on the DL with a "shoulder strain," the Cubs continue to avoid a June swoon. Last evening they finished their three game sweep of the cross-town White Sox, extending their home record to an astounding 32-8. The Cubs have won 14 straight at Wrigley Field.
Ryan Dempster continues his remarkable transition back to starting pitcher (last year he was the club's closer) and improved his record to 9-2. Aramis Ramirez hit his fourth home run of the three game series, driving in two. The Cubs improved to 48-28, the best record in baseball, and extended their lead to 4.5 games over the Cardinals (who lost an extra-inning thriller to the Red Sox at Fenway.)
Deep breath, stay composed. The season is long. The All-Star Break is only just approaching. The dog days of August can be brutal, especially with all those Wrigley Field day games. And these are, of course, the Cubs.

Again, I say, "Just remember last year."
The Brewers' and the Cubs' roles were reversed. The Cubs will swoon to the end. Pray that they get the wild card.;)
