    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>CHICAGO (AP) -- Jim Edmonds and Mark DeRosa delivered key hits and the Chicago Cubs overcame an eight-run deficit, rallying past the Colorado Rockies 10-9 Friday for their fifth straight victory.

    With the wind blowing out at 15 mph, the hitters ruled at Wrigley Field. There were seven total home runs, and Jeff Baker hit a team-record four doubles for the Rockies.Down 8-0 in the fourth inning and still trailing 9-1 in the sixth, the Cubs came back and sent Colorado to its fifth loss in a row.DeRosa and Henry Blanco hit two-run homers and Edmonds had a two-run double during a six-run burst in the seventh that put Chicago ahead.Edmonds earlier hit his first home run since joining the Cubs this month. He finished with three hits and atoned for an error in center field.DeRosa's go-ahead shot off reliever Manuel Corpas was the Cubs' fourth homer of the afternoon. Todd Helton, Chris Iannetta and Jeff Spilborghs homered for the Rockies.</div>

    They do seem to have an air of destiny about them....the lineup is awesome, the starting rotation has an ace and two guys that are above average and the bullpen is deep and talented....I like their chances right now....

    They're due?

    It's only been 100 years since their last World Series Championship
