This losing streak - wasn't that kinda like Wizard of Oz?
Every day, you turn a corner and there's the witch with the "surrender" smoke signal, having the Cub bats walk thru the sleepy poppies, making everybody rusty, or sending off those freaking monkeys with wings and scaring the BeJesus out of everybody.

Finally the W flag gets to drop on that hag.
Cubs 6 Pirates 1 in a game that goes only about 6 1/2 because of rain.
Sean Marshall was fantastic on the mound and as a hitter.
Fontenot, Hoffpauir, Fukudome, Alfonso, Bradley and Theriot all doing something wizard-like with the bats.
I'm still in my office cause man work is BUSY, but I got to hear some on Emily's radio.
Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead.
Now, lets keep her that way.
It doesn't get any easier as the week goes along...
