WEEKLY RECAP

The Cubs' pitchers earn their money big time in the last 3 games. Now it's 29 shutout innings for them. And with pitching like that, the batter job has been made much easier as well. It's an impressive run that the Cubs' are on, and, well... if the games keeps on going for them like this, maybe, just maybe the World Series is in sight...? But there's still a long way to go in the season, 33 games to be exact. Otherwise this week has been uneventful. Pitching has shooshed every team in the last 3 games. Alfonso Soriano, however had a spectacular game against the South Siders, with a 3-for-5 in the game, 4 RBI's and a homer. But still, the supreme pitching lifts nearly all pressure off the batters.

CUB OF THE WEEK

Rich Harden had, perhaps, the best game of his career against the White Sox in the 9-0 blowout. Although he did not have a perfect game, he played all 9 innings and gave up only 3 hits, with 4 K's to go with that. An absolutely ground-breaking pitching performance.
