Eamus Catuli!

The Cubbies are once again above .500! They have put together a pretty good campaign, moving from dead last in the NL Central to second place, behind the over-achieving Milwaukee Brewers.

They have:

• won 8 out of their last 9 games.
• won their first 5 games to start the month of May since 1937!
• finally won a 1-run ball game.

They are starting to hit the ball well:

• Derrek Lee is leading the Major Leagues with a batting average of .414.
• Alfonso Soriano is starting to heat up, now batting .303.
• Ryan Theriot (I love to call him "The Riot") is batting .313.

Rich Hill is 4-1 with an ERA of 1.73 and Ryan Dempster is perfect 7 of 7 in save opportunities, with an ERA of 2.12. Some others in the bullpen have had moments of mediocrity.

Let's keep it up, Cubbies! Eamus Catuli!
