After the Cubs' 3-0 sweep of their crosstown rivals, the White Sox, this weekend, I can't help but wonder: where do we go from here?
From the looks of things, the Cubs could finally be competing again; it's a bit premature to say that they're primed for a wild card or a divisonal championship spot at the present time. But Chicago's lovable losers are starting to play like winners again & Wrigley Field could be making a lot more noise real soon if the Cubs don't have any more lapses coming up in the next 2 months.
On the other hand, the White Sox are on a downhill slide (losing 22 out of their last 27 games) & losing 3 straight to the Cubs hasn't aided their cause one whit. And to think there's plenty of baseball to be played; there's still hope for the ChiSox (& hope for manager Ozzie Guillen). Next question is, when will they play up to their expectations, especially in a division which is one of the toughest around? Cleveland's playing nicely; Detroit's up there too. If the ChiSox don't step their game up, chances are they won't make the playoff round for 2 straight seasons...at least some fans still have faith that they can accomplish the miraculous.
For the folks who love Wrigley Field, go Cubbies!!
