So here we are at the start of August, and lo and behold who do we see on top of the NL East but the Cubs! They`ve now won or tied 10 of their last 11 series. And what about the Amazing(?) Mets. They`ve dropped 6 in a row, with Gooden getting shelled last night against St. Loius. Admittedly it is only a 1/2 game lead, but first is first. We`re gonna have ourselves one heck of a pennant race. I just hope Frey starts to give Jody Davis a bit of a rest. He`s been in all but 6 or 7 of the Cubs games, though maybe not ALL behind the plate. Moreland could go back of the plate for a game or 2, but we could use a regular catcher. Hassey gets picked up, so they play him at first, and in the immortal words of the Bob Eucker, "Bingo!" he gets hurt, and won`t be back till the Sept. stretch. Steve Lake is recuping in the minors, but no idea how long it`ll be till he gets back. So it`s a four game series vs. the Expos this weekend, then the Mets are in town for 4 games, which includes a doubleheader. "Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey, Chicago, whadda say! The Cubs are gonna win today!" Tom O`Connor P.S. How `bout them Twins??
