Found February 28, 2009 on Another Cubs Blog:
Over on The Spread, they?ve listed the Cubs as 3 to 1 favorites to win the National League, which beats out the Mets who are 7 to 2 favorites. The Favorite: Chicago Cubs 3/1 The Cubs have one of the most balanced lineups in the National League, led by outfielder Alfonso Soriano, first baseman Derek Lee and NL Rookie of the Year, catcher Geovany Soto. Chicago?s starting pitching staff is outstanding as well, headlined by ace Carlos Zambrano and followed by Rich Harden, Ryan Dempster and Ted Lilly. But the key for the Cubs isn?t making the playoffs because they should, but advancing to the World Series. Will the curse doom the Cubbies once again this year? I know I?m just nitpicking here, but how does Aramis Ramirez get left off the list of those who lead the most balanced lineup in the league? For that matter, how is listing 3 right handers balanced? Where?s Milton Bradley?s name? Oh well. H/T to WV23
