Pinella liks chemistry

Lou Piniella hasn’t spoken to any of the Cubs since the season came to a stunning finish seven weeks ago at Dodger Stadium. But his silence has nothing to do with the loss or the way the Cubs looked during the Dodgers’ three-game playoff sweep. It’s simply Piniella’s way of giving back. | MLB page

Cubs at head of class

Big week for the Cubs

What a huge week for the Cubs! Without Soriano, the Cubs will take on the Giants for four this week in San Fransisco, before heading to St. Louis, to try keeping first place, as the Cardinals are currently only 2.5 games behind the Cubs in the NL Central.
