Striving Toward Mediocrity

Don't look now, but if Maddox can complete the sweep today at Wrigley against the suddenly very bad Houston Astros, the Chicago Cubs will have reached a milestone: They'll be a .500 baseball team. Although this year began (as so many do) with a few of Cub-dom's bravest souls holding out hope that the post season might be a possibility, something tells me that this is going to be yet another year where we have to take solace wherever we can find it.

We're almost completely average!!! WOO-HOO!!!
