Welcome back to our review of the 2003 season. When last we checked in on the Cubs, they had just taken two out of three in a brief three game trip to Pittsburgh. They return home at 12-7, having won seven of nine and owning a two-game lead in the National League Central. Conversely, the Padres came in at 7-12. The Giants had jumped out to a 15-3 start and so the Padres were already 8½ games out of first and threatening to be completely out of contention before the end of April.
