What really is amazing about the the fact that the Cubs are in first is the speed in which they did it. On July 28, they were 5 1/2 games behind the Mets and had just lost one to the Mets. Today they sit at the top of the National League East with a 4 1/2 game lead with the Phils taking third at 7 1/2 out. They have risen 10 games in the standings in 14 games, all that in 12 days. Give Keith Moreland the National League player of the week award for playing over .500 ball in the last Mets series! And for all you "fading" folks out there, the Cubs record in August is 8-1 !!!!!! -- Pete Rung AT&T Bell Labs Naperville, Ill. ihnp4!ihuxw!rung
