Amazingly enough, the Colorado Rockies are the hottest team in baseball right now, having won 7 straight games. Granted, they are still in last place in the National League West, 13 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, but if they keep this up, they could very well work themselves back to respectability, or at least mediocrity. Even my South Side heroes, the Chicago White Sox, who are also 13 games out of first place in the American League Central, have won two straight games and are looking much more competitive these days. Could both teams finish above .500 this year? It's not the playoffs, but you take what you can get. As for the White Sox's North Side rivals, the Chicago Cubs, they are still only one and a half games out of first place in the National League Central and actually do have a chance to make the playoffs. But then again, they are the Cubs, after all, so don't bet the farm on them. In fact, I think there is a hotline you can call if you do have an urge to put money on the Cubs going all the way. And if you do, you definitely need help.
