Certainities

Wouldn't the world be a better place if everybody was as open and honest as, well....

Anyway. One certainity we can live with right now is that the Cubs are one win away from sweeping the AssTrolls in their own juicebox. Another is that we have effectively waved the stench away from our first short trip there. Still a third is that at this point, watching the Cubs gives me a confident feeling, like they are in fact in control of their own destiny. As pitiful as they seemed during the end of the Joe Borowski Era, they match that now with poise and a swagger.

This weekend, for the first time in a while, we will have a bench that resembles an actual major league winning bench. Goodwin, Martinez, and Hollandsworth are excellent players for a Bench. Actually, they have some hard decisions to make. Dubois is going down, yes. But are they going to cut Ordonez loose? I assume they want to keep Macias. Could this be a small window of opportunity to make a deal with men currently on the roster, who might not be tomorrow?
