Cubs Can’t Win on The Road?

Well folks like I said the Cubs could make their road problem go away with a big series win over the Brewers and they did just that!

Not only did they beat the Brewers, they flat out hammered them and took all 4 games of the series on the road.  The Cubs pitching was just brilliant all series.  Lilly, Zambrano, Dempster, and Harden were just super.  All we have been hearing is how the Cubs can’t win on the road and how it will catch up to them.  Well like I said, I thought it was a matter of teams playing too many games and the road games are even more of a grind during the regular season.  If the Cubs can get up for the big road series then that is all that matters….well folks they made sure they got up for the Jays series (which was only big because I was in attendance) and the sure got up for this Brewers series.

Some debate was going on about Zambrano vs Sheets, and Harden vs. Sabathia….well I will take my Cubs.  Say what you want about how good CC is but Harden is lights out!  he has 39 strikeouts and has allowed just 3 runs in 24 1/3 innings since coming over to the Cubs for a 1.11 ERA and .90 WHIP.

Next up for the Cubs we have the Pirates who are fresh off trading away Jason Bay, and have Laroche out of the lineup which should spell trouble for them.  I have to go with nothing short of a 4 game sweep again
