May be a good luck charm.

Out of the last 10 games I've gone to at Wrigley, I've only witnessed one loss. Maybe they can turn it around and get on course. Doubt it, but hope is the only thing we cub fans have. My proposed changes to the team: Matt Murton and Glendon Rusch for Torii Hunter. Torri has just given his okay to waive his "no-trade" for the cubs and bo-sox.The reason he gave the no-go to these teams was they featured brick walls. Reading into this a bit, I think he would be willing to play left for the cubs. Before you tell me go to hell, it would work out nicely for both teams. The twins problem is relief pitching, they have absolutely no left handers in the bullpen. Lew Ford is a natural CF holding on to LF till Shannon Stewart gets healthy. The twins will be off the hook for 4 1/2 million, and Stewart will be elgible for FA. Murton is the type of player the twins covet: cheap young talent. We shall see....

NLC for the taking....

...but no one wants it. The Cubs were 13 1/2 out and 13 games below the mendoza line when they went on their road trip. Today 11 out 10 games below. The hottest teams in the central are the Buccos and Cubs. This is begining to look like last years NLW. A little drastic of a comparison I know, but in all reality, no one is completely out of it yet. Which will make the 15 July deadline all the more interesting. Olney can only talk about HGH for so long.


Marmol had some nice stuff and was locating very well. Kept the batters off balance with change of pace and does have some potential. Well, I'll be at Thursday's game with Maddog on the bump. I would like to be there for the sweep game, so lets go cubs. Sorry, but I may rant heatedly about this team, I'm still a die-hard CUB FAN and not a yup going to the world's largest beer garden.
