CINCINNATI -- If the Milwaukee Brewers are going to win the National League Central, they might have to pry it out of Carlos Zambrano's right hand. The Cubs' ace continued his two-month Cy Young charge Sunday in Cincinnati, pitching 7 1/3 shutout innings to beat the Reds 6-0 at Great American Ball Park and become the first 14-game winner in the majors. Zambrano also pulled the Cubs a half-game ...

It's official: Cubs are the awesome
goatriders.org 7/31/2007 — I'm getting a little sick of these Cubs. When things are going well, it's sort of a battle to find new and exciting ways to exalt the Cubs. It's boring. And if I'm bored I'm sure you must be bored.
