I'm a Cubs FANATIC. They are my team, through thick and thin. When they play over their heads, and when they play under the gutter. When they win the division, and then get swept in the division series. When they get no-hitters and when they blow no-hitters. And some day, when they go all the way and get those rings.

It was a bad call, but he was at the plate with the chance to tie it and struck out. Last out in a close game he held the bat on strike three. I agree it was a bad call, but umpires make bad calls all the time, and Dome can’t watch the final strikek go by.

I'm not arguing about his placement in the order...
I wish he wasn’t at lead-off.
But it seems inarguable to me that it’s a positive sign that he got two hits today. It may not be a trend. He may revert back to going 0 for the century again. But what’s wrong with at least being glad that today he performed well?
