If they can play this well at home all season - or anything close - and play .500 on the road (currently they sit one game under at 8-9), they'll be just fine. Two more to go at home, let's make them good ones! Go Cubs! It was a rough ride there for a while, but the boys have turned it around this homestand.

I still think that Hendry made a mistake in not trying to get another quality pitcher a la Dan Haren in the off season.

But Willie Stargell and Roberto Clemente have been brought back from the grave and are lighting it up in the heart of their order! Also, Nate McLouth has apparently made some sort of Faustian bargain. No Randall Simon.

I need the memory of that game to be intact, as does Geovany Soto. Thanks for doing all that research, Mister Pickle...who knew that the lowly Pirates are scoring nearly 5 runs a game. Did they re-sign Randall Simon? Don’t take away the 19 run game! I need the memory of that game to be intact, as does Geovany Soto.

They are currently averaging an even 6 runs per game, but if you remove the 19-run game from the equation, then they still have a very healthy average of 5.6 runs per game. Not sure if you're used to steroid ball, but even 5 runs a game would be a GREAT average. That would be good enough for 4th best in the league. As it is, the actual average (sans 19-run ballgame) is 5.6 runs per game, which is still good enough for 2nd place. Notable current leaders are: Cubs (6.0), D-Backs (5.7), Dodgers (5.4), Braves (5.1), Red Sox (4.9), Phillies (4.9), Tigers (4.9), and Pirates (4.9). Not really.

I don't have the league stats, but I doubt that's leading the league. If you take away the 19 run game, the Cubs are averaging just over 5 runs a game.
