Wednesday July 23rd – Chase Field


Game (101): Cubs 10 – D-Backs 6


Record (59-42) – 1st place NL Central


Soriano Saga – (16-18) OVER!


20-Games in 20-Days – (2-4)

The skinny: It&#8217;s actually a relief to re-open the Soriano in the leadoff spot debate.
Not that I&#8217;m a taker on the topic, my stance has been clear for some time: [...]]]></description>

Record (58-42) – 1st place NL Central


Soriano Saga – (16-18)


20-Games in 20-Days – (1-4)

The skinny: The Milwaukee Brewers trail the Cubs by one game in the division.

Record (58-41) – 1st place NL Central


Soriano Saga – (16-17)


20-Games in 20-Days – (1-3)

The skinny: Tonight’s game is one the Cubs will look back on should they fail to make the playoffs.
Rich Harden allows 1-run on 1-hit with 10 K’s and losses the game.
Unbelievable.

As much as baseball fans (and most of its players) don&#8217;t want the All Star Game to count towards home field advantage for the World Series, it most certainly does.
Just look at the numbers from the past five years, all AL victories in the All Star Game.

So who plays the lead in the inevitable Josh Hamilton movie?
I&#8217;ll take Dennis Quaid who did a fine job with his portrayal of Jim Morris in The Rookie (2002).
Plus, Dennis is a natural lefty and has some resemblance physically to Hamilton as well.
Not to mention, Quaid, like Hamilton, also battled his own addiction to cocaine [...]]]></description>
