Cubs Sign 2nd round pick Lemahieu

They have a soft spot for middle infielders from LSU don't they?

Don't know if anyone has seen this yet, a friend of mine sent it to me. It's got some pretty amaing pictures taken during 2008.

Ted Lilly is featured on number 14 in a pretty sweet picture too, take a look.

Fukudome! or Fukudont?

As we all know, Kosuke began as hot as he could be. He hit the 3 run hr to tie it in the ninth. His eye rubbed off on many other players which allowed the Cubs to draw many more walks than what is accustomed to Cubs players. Don't leave the coaches out as they could have been the main source of this, but Kosuke really opened their eyes. (haha I crack myself up)

But, This only lasted for about 2 months before this All Star lost his touch.

So, how's the ride going to go for him next year?

I personally believe that Kosuke will be able to figure it out over the summer and become a pretty good hitter with some decent power and he will be starting in the OF for the Cubs in '09. Now what position remains to be seen.

As we all know it has been quite a while since we have faced the dodgers, we are 5-2 on the season against them. 3-0 at home, 2-2 on the road, but they have changed since then. I have to admit I have not followed them or any west coast team very closely. So I have questions.

How is the dodgers bullpen? I've heard its good, but how good? How good are their secondary starters? What is their offense other then Manny?

Also what about the Cubs. Will big Z bounce back? Will the bullpen step it up? Will Dome get any starts?
