-----------------------------
Why is it that the closer the Cubs get to winning their division, the worse they play?? I mean, come on already. Zambrano's last start, he went out there and threw the team's FIRST no-hitter in over THIRTY years. Today, he hits the mound, and promptly gives up five runs - in the FIRST inning. They lost 12-6. So their magic number of two did not drop, thanks to their lack of playoff-caliber defense. At least they scored some runs. Even better, the second-place Brewers lost their game versus the Reds; so the Cubs' magic number is now ONE, thank you very much. Hopefully tomorrow they can actually WIN and just get it over with, so they can relax for the remainder of the season and concentrate on the first round of playoffs.
But that's the "Lovable Losers" for ya. It's inevitable that they will win the division; they have several games left and I can't see even THEM losing all of them (or the Brewers winning ALL of the games they have left). Whether or not they are a true World-Series-caliber team remains to be seen. I reserve judgment until after the playoffs begin.
On a side note, my first baby Rebecca turned 12 today. One more year until she's (***gasp***) a TEENAGER. Now THAT should be an experience to remember. LOL Happy birthday baby girl!!
