Is it just me, or does it feel like 1908?

Lets review. The Cubs are first place in the NL Central and have been for all but maybe one week of the season so far. They came back from an 8-0 deficit the other day to win in one of the most exciting games that I can remember. The injuries that plagued the Cubbies for the past few years have yet to reappear this season. They are now 15 games above .500 and they just swept a 7-game homestand. They have the best record in baseball going into June for the first time since 1908 (also the year they last won the World Series, for anyone who has been living under a rock). They have a couple of arguably the best rookies in the league in Geovany Soto and Kosuke Fukudome. 4 of their players are in the top 20 in the league in RBI's, 5 in OBP, and they lead the league in runs scored with 319. I know it's early, but you can't tell me this team won't go far this year.
