Too Good to be True?




The 2007 Baseball season on the northside was lining up so well. It really looked like 'It's Gonna Happen'. There appeared to be a harmonic convergences in the air.

Weak Division- check
Cardinals having a down season - check
New manager - check
Biggest offseason free agent signing - check
More than you could have expected from Lilly and Marquis - check
Young callups playing great ball - check
Milwaukee fading - check
Big Z back to form - check

Cubs fans were even allowing themselves to get a little puffy-chested, and then BAM! Soriano is out for at least 2 weeks, more like four. I hate to say it, but this could be the beginning of the end for the 'Season of Destiny'. Let's hope not, but as a Cubs fan, I was getting a little uncomfortable feeling so comfortable.

I should have known better.

The Cubs should call up Pie. Soriano was playing poorly anyway, maybe this will do him some good going into september.

Soriano is a loss, but the div is weak, and they can last a few weeks w/out him. Use Pie for now.

It looks like Lou is calling up Corey Patterson's little brother. I wonder why Pie is in Lou's doghouse.
