The game plan proves to be simple Wednesday night on the road: win at all costs. Sure the 5-2 comeback shows the Cubs have a enough heart left. Their decline with a 5-game losing streak came to an end. Rough play on the field cost Cubbie Blue enough with a big injury to Dioneer Navarro with Chase Utley's intentional crash into him at home plate. Another injury took place to a new outfield prospect. With so many new faces with prospects the odds appear to be set against the Cubs. With newcomer Junior Lake (.349 BA) and recent arrival Donnie Murphy (2 HRs, 4 RBIs in win) in the lineup hit production with run average can increase.
Again Dale Sveum takes a chance to mix up the lineup card. So with a new order almost every week the hit cycle isn't in effect yet the youth movement can enable Chicago to further a rebuilding process. Away from Wrigley the club owns a 27-30 record. To get close to .480 mark after August gives all the players a break and confidence boost. Management just can't run rampant with a poor enviroment at home to force a conflict with players to move. The forseen series against their rival Cardinals won't be for the one matchup to miss. Let's go Cubs!
