Hey Look! Hits! Walks! Runs!

A few notes from the last couple days...

Using typical sportswriter logic (i.e. the last game is representative of the entire season) Soriano's presence in the lineup (and his 1-5) mean about 10 runs per game for this team. Yay for tiny sample sizes.

Bright side: The Cubs have just gone through a six week stretch where they lost both their (at the time) most productive hitter for the entirety, their best pitcher for two weeks, and their closer for two weeks. At the beginning of that stretch, the Cubs were 15 games over .500. They are currently 17 games over .500. Surprisingly not bad, all things considered.

Even Brighter Side: Ned Yost is still the Brewers manager.

The second round of bids for the Cubs has begun, and the early favorite has gone Big Brown at Belmont.

Kerry Wood apparently has finger herpes, so Smardhdkoeesdfsdkjsadadsfhdk may get the call.


Its over. Move on. Losers.
