Paul Sullivan: After scoring 46 runs in 4 games, theories abound for reasons behind Cubs' surging offense

The wind had blown out only five times in 35 games at Wrigley Field before last weekend, leading Joe Maddon to wonder aloud about a long, cold Chicago spring that led to conditions he termed "the London fog."

And with the prevailing winds blowing out all three days against the Twins, the Cubs scored 35 runs in three games to quell fears of an all-or-nothing offense.
