Then you had two games where they looked like shit for 7 complete innings and then one where the other team completely deconstructs in the 13th.
All I'm saying, while it was fun and I love the wins, let's not fool ourselves in thinking we have turned any kind of corner. We were lucky not have gone through, what would have been, our 3rd four game losing streak.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
though i agree with most of what you said, the fact is, for the first time this year, the cubs actually came back and won games. that's something i didn't think i'd see again. they also did something else they hadn't done in a while: they strung together hits. add some clutch hitting and i have to say i feel a little better about this team. what they did this weekend is find ways to win instead of finding ways to lose. that's progress.
