After a rough first half, the Chicago Cubs are picking up steam. On June 2nd, a tantrum got manager Lou Piniella suspended and the Cubs were 9 games under .500. The next day, the Cubs won and started a streak in which they went 22-and-12 over the last 5 weeks of the first half to end up one game over .500. Ace Carlos Zambrano won 10 games, but not without a dugout and clubhouse fight with his catcher Michael Barrett, who eventually got traded to the San Diego Padres. That deal came after the 2 teams brawled at Wrigley Field, leaving Derrek Lee with a 5-game suspension that he's still appealing. Lee is batting .330 at the break despite only 6 homers, and 3rd baseman Aramis Ramirez has been a solid run producer with 51 RBI's.
