Cubs On Top...Again

Yesterday the Chicago Cubs continued a streak of domination by shutting out the Cincinnati Reds 5-0. That win, combined with a timely Los Angeles Angels loss, gave the Chicago Cubs the best record in the entire Major Leagues, with a record of 77-48 and a winning percentage of .616. The Cubs have been the best team in the National League for a long time now and are 6 games ahead of any other team (Milwaukee Brewers). They also have a cool 8.5 game lead on long-time division rivals the St. Louis Cardinals. The Angles are now second in the American League (.613) behind the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, who have an identical record to the Cubs. With only 37 games left in the regular season, the Cubs are looking pretty good for another run at a world series championship, 100 years after the last time they won.
