At the last a sweep happened for the Cubs...they got a big break in this weekend's Interleague Series against the White Sox. Everything is running smooth as the starting pitching and bullpen had really turned their performances up a notch. Plus Alfonso Soriano is on a tear. He hits 3 homers in the series, pushing his total to 15. Aramis Ramirez's bat has gave the Cubs are lift. He's a valuable guy on the club.
The 3-0 shutout showed how the pitching is starting to fall in place. Sean Marshall moved to 4-2 after a six-inning sensational outing. The bullpen and him held the Sox to 7 hits and only walked 3 batters. Soriano went 3-for-5 with an RBI while Ramirez sliced 2 hits. Even the young catcher, Koyie Hill drove in a run. They all looked sharp.
I knew the Cubs could move up in the standings after this weekend. They're still got to stay in tune as they continue the road trip. Watch out for those Rockies! Coach Piniella did or said something to set his team straight and whatever it was it has worked so far. First place in the Central can be the Cubs by the All-Star break. It's theirs for the taking.
