Extra Inning Thread: Cubs vs. Cardinals, Friday 5/2, 7:15 CT

Pervert_tiny by northsider on

I'm not usually a big fan of Morrissey, but he's got this one right, except for the replacement. Reed Johnson didn't hit well while leading off while Soriano was out. Kosuke Fukudome is an ideal leadoff man -- once you get out of the "speedy leadoff guy" mindset. The most important thing for a leadoff man is getting on base. Yes, I know I'm preaching to the choir here.



Let's get 'em, Cubs!

but thanks to Northwestern’s quarter system I don’t worry about finals until June. Which keeps me near Wrigley longer. I’m okay with that.
