I mentioned this in a post a couple days ago, but for whatever reason (maybe just looking at the world through blue and gold glasses), it seems to me that the Cubs get to play every team when that team is at its worst. To start their hot streak, they got the ChiSox at their absolute nadir. They were already the worst hitting team in the league and topped themselves by scoring 2 runs in 3 games. Then Colorado decided to cool off after playing well, mainly by pitching like little leaguers and booting every ball in the field. The lowlight was Kaz's (I believe it was him) bobble of the easy final out in the game where Colorado came back in the 9th. Next was Washington, playing like Washington, when they, of course, decide to play well against us. Pittsburgh actually stepped it up. And then there's Houston. Couldn't hit until the 9th inning of game 2 (4 hits to that point, maybe?) and on top of it, Roy Oswalt gets shelled. Oh, and in a one game win yesterday, musclemen Theriot and Pagan hit homers. And now Bonds isn't playing. Obviously, things have gone the Brewers' way this year, too, namely the hot start by many players and the lack of injuries until recently. But man, it seems like the Cubs are living a charmed life right now, and not because they are amazing. [/silly whine] http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif
