Wake up listless Cubbies!

This will be a tough series with the way that the Rockies can put up runs, and we apparently can't, but it would be nice to see some focus and life out of the boys tonight.  I think one positive, other than an obvious win, would be to see us start swinging at the good pitches and stop swinging at the garbage.  When the bases are loaded with no or one out, sometimes the first-pitch fastball down the middle is the best pitch you'll see.  Also, if we can't get some HR's in Coors, then I don't know where we can.  However, more of the same of what we saw in Houston and I think I can see a Mt. Lou eruption in our future.  BTW, is it just me or did the gloom and doom Lou showed after the Sori injury bother anyone?  I didn't like that approach at all-you've got to circle the wagons when something like that happens, not bemoan it.  

Finally, if anyone is ever interested in Smokies' info, I live here and see them fairly often.  On that note, I'm not impressed at all by Donnie Veal-93-94 on the gun my ass.  However, from what I saw earlier this year, Fox and Kroeger are going to be two damn fine hitters.  Fox also has an above-average arm in the OF if they ever choose to put him there.

Go Cubbies, let's wake up and remember what and who your playing for!
