The Cubs Final Month!?!?

The Chicago Cubs are one of those teams that always has a reputation of "choking" in September. Well, except for this season, of course. This September, the Cubs have been playing outstanding baseball and are doing nothing but proving to themselves and to their fans that they are determined to win games and, hopefully, make it to the playoffs.

In the month of September, the Cubs have already recorded fifteen wins. As impressive as that is, I believe that the North Siders are winning games due to their indescribable amount of power in their lineup. During this successful month, the Cubs have received more than enough production from their three big men on the team, Alfonso Soriano, Derrek Lee, and Aramis Ramirez. In the past week, the trio has been combining to hit about four-hundred, and have a total of nine homeruns and twenty-two runs batted in. With these three sluggers hitting those kind of numbers, all the Cubs have to worry about is their pitching.

The Chicago Cubs' pitching has been nothing but amazing this month. For the Cubs starting pitching, they have four starters on the team with ten wins or more that can take them deep into games. Also, as of this month, thebullpen has been lights out, saving six out of eight opportunities, and recording four wins.

With this month being as promising as it is, you have to wonder, is this year the year ?! Can they continue to win, hold off the Brewers, and make it into the playoffs? Well, we'll see come October. Go Cubs!
