I'll make this brief, but wanted a place to discuss the latest in "As Milton's World Turns". First though, the Cubs won, they hit a 2-run home run and a 3-run home run. It's nice to know those haven't gone extinct. Jake Fox and Geovany Soto did the damage and no truth to the rumor that Soto was promised White Castle if he hit one out today.
Randy Wells got his second win on the year, two solo shots being the only marks against him. After 98 pitches and 7 innings, the increasingly baffling Lou went to Carlos Marmol and he predictably walked two of the first three hitters, gave up a couple of hits with some assistance from Soriano losing a ball in the sun (which I admittedly didn't see) and was mercifully pulled for Sean Marshall who got out of the jam by inducing the 3-1-3 double play by A.J. Pierzynski with the bases juiced.
The big story though will unfortunately be Milton Bradley. He struck out his first two times and t...

Milton Bradley is a piece of what?

Cubs' Piniella sends Bradley home after tantrum
Milton Bradley's temper tantrum was one too many for Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella.
Just hiss and make up
Milton Bradley sounds like a guy who spent the last three months wondering what he got himself into by signing with the Cubs. And Jim Hendry wouldn't be wrong for wondering the same thing about the guy who was his free-agent jewel of the offseason. But whether the countless heads-up discussions and scouting reports on both sides last winter eventually prove more true or more false...
Bradley back in lineup
Milton Bradley's back in the Cubs lineup today, as manager Lou Piniella promised Friday after kicking him out of the game, and the outfielder said that after Friday's career first he has no problem with his manager, even after their heated exchange included a moment of name-calling.

Geovany Soto Failed Drug Test In WBC
by Matt SnyderFiled under: Cubs, NL Central, World Baseball ClassicThe bad news: Geovany Soto failed his drug test while competing in the World Baseball Classic. The good news: It wasn't for a performancing-enhancing drug -- which, at this point, would probably precede his being drawn and quartered by the outraged general public. Instead, Soto tested positive for marijuana. I...

Lou Piniella: I Have Smoked Dope
Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella is known as a straight-shooter so why would we expect him to do anything differently when discussing Geovany Soto’s positive drug test during the World Baseball Classic?
