There’s no debating that this Chicago Cubs roller-coaster ride has been one for the books. Whether it turns into a classic or gets thrown into the used-books bin remains to be seen. Read PWSullivan's thoughts on the second half of the season.
Does President Jed Hoyer believe in this team enough to stand pat or even add on?

When the Cubs went on a 10-3 run in early April, culminating with a three-game sweep of the A’s in Oakland, you might have thought they clinched the pennant, at least if you were listening to Marquee Sports Network analyst Rick Sutcliffe. They won 13 of their next 19 and a season-high six straight entering Friday’s game against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium, becoming the third team in franchise history to get back to the .500 mark after being 10 games under.
