The Cubs completed a four-game sweep of a team that by all accounts will be lucky to win 65 games. Soriano has feasted on subpar pitching and it seems that he has broken out of the career long slump that he was mired in.

Great, now do it against Philly.

Look, I’m encouraged by a few things, the explosive offense of the last game, the pen buckling down in games 1-3 (especially game 3), Lou finally managing, but I want to see it again, not just for a fleeting moment against the worst team in the majors.

Again, they still have wins, so a sweep is something to be happy about, but I’m by no means satisfied. Tomorrow we’ll look at what the Cubs need to do to win this thing, which all surprisingly falls into Lou’s lap.
