I was going to get shitfaced at the Louisville AAA game tomorrow night and heckle Corey.  Now what the hell am I going to do for fun?

Here's a handy little factoid.  The Cubs are obviously the hottest team in baseball right now.

The second hottest?  Ned's Milwaukee Brewers, winners of eight of their last nine games, and during their hot stretch, they have actually lost a game in the standings to the Cubs.

Muahahahahahahahahaha!

There should be some flights or buses leaving town.

Dude's in the lineup, batting  2nd, right behind Jerry Hairston the Lesser.

Dusty wasted no time getting in back in the line up and I thank him for it.

The best news is that the heat was being turned up on Butchie. With nine wins in their last ten, he's safe for the foreseeable future.

Winnar = the rest of the NL Central.

Cards got another win today.  How the hell is Todd Wellemeyer 7-1 with a 2.92 ERA this year?  For that matter, how come failed Cubs pitchers always seem to blossom under another pitching coach's tutelage?

I don't know if it happens all that often.  How many times have failed Cubs pitchers had extended success after sucking with the Cubs?

It's possible my white-hot hatred for Fraudschild has clouded my memory, but didn't Mitre turn out to be a serviceable starter, i.e. better than he was here?  And Juan Cruz has done pretty well for himself since leaving (6.05 in 2003 vs. 2.75 in Atlanta in 2004, 3.10 in AZ in 2007)

You're right -- Cruz has turned into a decent middle reliever for the D-Backs.  But he was never really bad when he was here.  I think he didn't live up to the hype, and people got tired of waiting for him to be the next Pedro Martinez.

Mitre has had an ERA of 4.89 since leaving the Cubs, pitching his home games in a gigantic ballpark, so I'm not too upset about him.

I'm going to go with "Kent Bottenfield"

Oh, no?  What if I remind you that they traded him for JUAN PIERRE?  He could have a 25.00 ERA, and I'd be mad they traded him for that sack of crap.

Even though that has nothing to do with the original question, I completely agree with it.
