The 1st Place Chicago Cubs!!!

It is such a strange feeling to me for these Cubs to be in 1st place. I've thought all year we had the guys to do it, but it seems like we've been so bad. Seems we are nowhere near where I thought we should be and somehow here we are! If Soriano, Bradley, and eventually Soto can get where they should be along with Lee, Ramirez, and Theriot...then throw in Fox, Hoffpauir, and the Fukudome/Johnson platoon, and we're pretty tough. The bullpen has improved and the rotation is solid. All that said, I've heard the rumors now. George Sherril from Baltimore, Victor Martinez, Heath Bell, Dan Haren, Adam Dunn, and the Pirates-Duke, Wilson, and Sanchez. What are your feelings of the liklihood of any of those deals and how bad would you want who? I'd like comments and votes over at the side. Here's a look at the Houston series(I like that we face 2 lefties):

vs. Wandy Rodriguez(L)
CF-Johnson(.182)
SS-Theriot(.476, HR)
1B-Lee(.444, 2HR)
3B-Ramirez(.231)
RF-Bradley(2-12)
LF-Fox(Soriano 1-14)
2B-Baker
C-Hill(1-2)

vs. Roy Oswalt(R)
CF-Fukudome
SS-Theriot(.333)
1B-Lee(.291, 3HR)
3B-Ramirez(.254, 4HR)
LF-Hoffpauir(2-3, HR)
RF-Bradley(3-8, HR)
2B-Fontenot(.286)
C-Hill(1-2)
*Soriano = .231, 3HR - maybe he starts for Bradley or Hoffpauir?

vs. Mike Hampton(L)
CF-Johnson(1-2)

SS-Theriot(0-3)

1B-Lee(.226, 3HR)

3B-Ramirez(.267)

RF-Bradley(.294)

LF-Soriano(1-5)

C-Fox

2B-Baker
