As I laid in bed last night, satisfied with the Cubs extra-inning win and delighted with the fact that Soriano slapped a base hit, I created the following scenerio in the form of a lucid dream:
I imagined pausing the world after Fontenot touched homeplate to win the game. Soriano and I

A weekend in Pittsburgh is, well, you know what happened. Although Aramis Ramirez, the Cub RBI machine got key hits in both of the Cubs’ losses, the Cubbies found ways to lose. A lost fly ball

It looks as though the Cubs will face three lefties this weekend, so Reed Johnson will get the starts in Center Field. We’ll see how he does after sitting on the bench four days in a row. I somewhat understand this platooning in CF,

* This homestand was just great. At the beginning of the homestand, the Cubs were 2 games behind the Cardinals. After going 8-2, the Cubbies are now 2 games up. The most remarkable aspect of this homestand was
