Streaking...the Cubs Way!

The Cubs have their first winning streak of the year after defeating the Milwaukee Brewers this afternoon, 6 to 3.

Carlos Zambrano ended his streak of games pitched in the month of April without a win.

Ryan Dempster has begun a streak of consecutive saves.

Aramis Ramirez has had a hit in every game this year. Then again, so have Alfonzo Soriano, Derrick Lee, Mark DeRosa and Cesar Itzturis. Ramirez has as batting average of .455. DeRosa is carrying .412. Soriano is at the other end at .217

The Cubs have a 3 and 2 record. Tomorrow they have a chance at the first sweep of the season. Ted Lilly is on the mound. It is Easter Sunday. If the temperature would go up another thirty degrees, tomorrow could be a fantastic day!

By the way, the Sox just shut down the Twins three zip. Javier Vasquez had a great day, as did shortsop Juan Uribe. The Sox are even with the league again, so tomorrow could be a great day for the south side as well!
