Cubs Shut Harden Down for Season
A bit surprising. Does this have more to do with performance or health?
Best and Worst Cubs Free Agents this Decade
An interesting article to help get your mind off the Cubs current play. I'll summarize Whittenmyer's list below:
WORST
1 Todd Hundley
2 Milton Bradley
3 Neifi Perez
4 Aaron Miles
5 Alfonso Soriano
BEST
1 Ryan Dempster
2 Jim Edmonds
3 Ted Lilly
4 Mark DeRosa
5 Alfonso Soriano
"That's why I'm mad," Soriano said. "If he had told me yesterday, then I wouldn't come today ready to play."
A pretty bold statement from a guy making over $100,000 a game while hitting in the .230's. Why should he be owed the right to know a day ahead of time if he's in the line up? Would he have come "not-ready" to play if Lou had told him the night before? See the full story here
Coincidence or not, Soto has hit .315 with five home runs and 10 RBIs in 16 games since Joshua arrived. He homered Thursday against Brewers reliever Chris Smith, smacking a 2-0 fastball over the left-field wall.
For those in need of some distraction.... I ran across this today. I find it strangely mesmerizing.
That's it. Please return to the rest of your day.

Things that will happen before the Cubs find their offense.

We all know this month long offensive funk as been painful. You're gonna either laugh or cry. So let's laugh and have some fun, eh?

On May 17th, Conan ran across Wrigley being chased by security guards. He used it in his open of the Tonight Show last night. I thought it was pretty hilarious. FF to 2:00 to see it, but the whole open is pretty good.
Good luck Conan... you rock!
Leadership: Good for Reed Johnson
Bradley was quoted yesterday as saying:
''Reed [Johnson] kind of put his foot in my [butt] today, figuratively, and got me back where I needed to be..."
It's good to see some leadership inside the Cubs locker room. I'm glad Reed adding value to the team, even if he's not playing a whole lot right now.
This made me laugh. More clowning around between Big Z and LBR.
The picture came from this story in the Sun-Times today.
