CHICAGO -- If they keep this up the Chicago Cubs will be deserving of some fancy come-from-behind nickname. The never-say-die, comeback kids did it again on Tuesday, winning their fifth straight game after trailing early in each contest.
"Everything is believable," manager Joe Maddon said after the Cubs' 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. "We believe in everything right now. Santa Claus is absolutely true."
No word if the Tooth Fairy or Easter Bunny is paying them a visit anytime soon but you might believe as well if you were in the Cubs dugout considering they've trailed 3-0 three different times during the streak, including on Wednesday when Maddon pinch-hit for struggling starting pitcher Kyle Hendricks, bringing in Tommy LaStella to lead off the fifth inning and ignite a three-run frame off Michael Fulmer.
