Well, the Cubs almost made it. They won the first two games in their series with the White Sox but then Carlos Zambrano was shelled in his start yesterday as the Cubs failed to sweep. That loss was the difference between hitting the .500 mark and not so now the Cubs have to get it done against the Padres in a west coast trip.
The good news is that, the Cubs have hung in the mix. They’re tied with the Astros in the loss column and they sit just six games back of the Brewers. One more good week and they could find themselves knocking on the door.
And speaking of Carlos Zambrano, this is a very cool look at his mechanics with video and pictures and everything. The author speculates that Zambrano might be hiding an injury but the evidence isn’t conclusive.
And then here’s a cool column on first base prospect Micah Hoffpauir. He had an awesome April but since then, he’s cooled down a bit but he’s still having a solid season at Triple A. And also be sure to check out Cubs Minors for all of your Cubs minor league coverage.
