Chicago Cubs:
Despite stumbling against the struggling Phillies, Ricketts optimisitc, young club doesn’t feel pressure:
“Raise your hand if you thought during spring training that this would be one of the best Cubs teams you have seen. OK, Chairman Tom Ricketts, you can take your hand down now. Only the most optimistic of fans would have predicted the Cubs would be this good, and in the back of their minds they knew they were going out on a limb…
“We’re so young and we don’t really care about anything,” Bryant said.”
