If you’d like to know why steroids make a great story, ask the Chicago newspapers this week. They’ve taken one tiny insinuation made completely tongue-in-cheek by one columnist and turned it a tempest in a Theriot-sized teapot.That Theriot would be petite Ryan Theriot, female fan favorite and infielder for the Chicago Cubs.

A Trip Around the Minors
Posted by Lionel on May 15, 2009.Obviously, a busy week for TD (let's be honest, a busy week for me) as we (I) will go with back to back ATAtM posts...IowaJake Fox-I rarely feel sorry for anybody, but you have to feel a little sorry for Fox.

False hustle
Finally! Somebody in the organization says it. Ryan Theriot needlessly diving around the field isn’t hustling. Alan Trammel called it false hustle. To Theriot’s credit, he’s stayed on his feet much better this year. As a result, and this is no surprise, he’s actually made a few plays in the hole.

Going up against the (then) 13-19 Padres to start a six straight at Wrigley was just the right recipe for some good home cookin’. Three games resulted in three wins and the Cubs now stand at 20-14; only a half game behind the division...
