Huge clutch HR for Soriano. Randy Wells has now pitched 11 scoreless innings! The bullpen is pretty scary right now. I would still like to see the Shark in the mix. Tom is talking about still picking up Peavy. Is that still a likely thing? We have a lot of decisions to make with Wells, Marshall, Samardzija, and the Lee/Hoffpauir situation. Throw Bobby Scales in the mix, and we have some serious trade bait. I can't imagine that rotation. I guess Marshall would be dealt or put in middle relief? Reports are that Z will be back the 22nd. That's less than a week. News isn't as promising for A-Ram. Happy to have the Brewers playing the Cards. I'm pretty impressed that we are where we are considering injuries and/or slow starts to Lee, Ramirez, Bradley, Zambrano, and Soto! Anyone else notice Fontenot's plummeting average? I've always liked him, but we may need to look at more PT for Bobby Scales at 2nd and 3rd. I still like the idea of platooning most positions other than SS, LF, and RF until Ramirez gets back. Looking at our team batting average, Scales is #1 followed by Ramirez Fukudome, Hill, Theriot, and Hoffpauir. We may need to get Hill and Hoffpauir more at-bats? Here's a look at the series finale on Sunday:
vs. Brian Moehler(R)
LF-Soriano(.353)
SS-Theriot(.286 2-7)
CF-Fukudome(.333 3-9)
1B-Lee(.308 4-13, 2 HR)
RF-Bradley
2B-Fontenot(.333 3-9)
C-Soto(2-10) Hill?
3B-Freel(.273 3-11) Scales?

Order your Bobby SCales jerseys now. Who needs A-Ram when we have a 31 year old rookie? Great series for the Cubs. Piled up double digit runs without four of their starters in the line-up. The Astros are coming into town at the right time. It was nice to see the Pirates take two of three from the Cards. Z comes back next week . I like the way things are shaping up.
I'm with ya. We'll only get better and stronger. I like the depth and diversity of this team.
Could have been a lot worse today. Glad they got the win. Gregg and Heilman are terrible. I blame Hendry for both moves. Heilman was on a team with the worse bullpen in baseball the apst two years and they did not want him. What does that say for him. The other thing was that the Cubs went on the cheap with Wood and did not resign him. I realize Wood is not tearing it up with Cleveland. If someone is going to blow saves for the Cubs, I would rather it be a guy like Wood that has been with the organization for 10+ years and has provided some great memories. I am also still pissed about the DeRosa trade. That still makes no sense. Hopefully they use those prospects to pick up Peavy next month. Let's keep beating up the weak links in the NL. Get one tomorrow against Moeler! Let's makes 6 in a row happen.
bullpen is very scary, but if we can get this one, i expect to beat moehler. i still like how this team is looking. Z will be back soon!
The Cubs should be competitive enough to keep pace with the others teams. I really like the Cubs . They’ve always been one of my favourite MLB teams to watch. I pass most time watching and looking for their news and videos. Last time I saw some hot videos of them here:

They really deserve our love so we must not stop supporting them .Go Go Cubs
