Slightly OT
I went to the Rockies-Dodgers game this afternoon. The Dodgers looked awful, especially the defense. I think the Snakes will win the west by default.

Don't really think it's ironic.
This team is better than what they’ve shown the past few games. Every body goes through slumps in a season, and we just had a bunch of them happen all at once. Having the All-Star Break right there probably drew more attention to it.
can they win the Fibonanci sequence?

I just want to say that my mental health....
really depended on the Cubs winning tonight.
I don’t know how much more time I can spend in front of the computer, late on a work night, holding my radio at just the right angle, so I can hear WGN radio.
If someone told me they’d win every night I do that, I guess I’d just give up my career.
IF IT TAKES FOREVER!!

Not sure it was
because Soriano was back but I’m going to credit his return to the lineup as a real boost to this teams play tonight. Nice game for some who had been slumping. Let’s take this win and run it to 5 going into Milwaukee.
Carlos Zambrano and Rich Harden. Now that's a pair of Aces.

The Difference
Lee looked better tonite, Aram and Soto both got a basehit and Fukudome had a nice OBP night and Soriano looked decent both at the plate and in the field.
and don't forget Ted's big hit and stolen base! Haha.
