Cubbies

Who else thinks the Cubs purposely blew the Marlins series so that they could have a huge party in the streets of Wrigleyville on a Friday night.

Thanks again, Maddux.

If you around Chicago you should go to Daley Plaza on Monday at Noon.

By the way, besides the Cubs winning the division Soriano has had an amazing September.

• 6 leadoff homers, the most by any player in any month (what if he batted 3rd?)
• 13 HRs in September ties Ernie Banks
• 19 Outfield assists for the season the most for any Cubs player since 1951

The Cubs has a team have hit 44 HRs this month a franchise record.

Also, when Rich Hill started yesterday it was his 32rd start of the seasons. He joined Marquis, Z, and Lilly each have over 32 starts. That is the first time that has happened in over 30 years for the Cubs. I think that's Len said the other day.

Everybody loves Carlos. I guess Marmol likes talking to people before games.

A few of the lost players that brought the Cubs here.

Here's what the playoff roster might look like.
