A new daily segment: interesting names and numbers from yesterday’s MLB action.

FUKUDOME ON FIRE

There’s a few great things about the Cubs taking the first series of the year. It was against a division rival and on the road. Even though we are just 3 games in, that is always big in my opinion.
But the best thing about the series was that Fukudome turned it on last night in [...]

Looking at some of Lou Piniella’s moves in last night’s 3-2 loss…
Bob Brenly pointed out some great managing by Lou Piniella last night during the Cubs telecast. He mentioned how Fontenot was playing in and Lou waved him back and more toward the 2nd base bag. Sure...

I love to read David Haugh in the Chicago Tribune. I often agree with him and he has great insight on my beloved Bears. But today is a different story. Haugh writes of the latest Bears buzz, Plaxico Burress.
“In some ways Plaxico Burress is the perfect wide receiver for the Bears...

The Cubs started off with a bang — literally — as Alfonso Soriano hit the 2nd Roy Oswalt pitch over the fence for a leadoff homer. Also of note in this game:
The Good:

From ESPN:
The Chicago Bears pulled the big upset Thursday afternoon by acquiring Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler, a source told ESPN.com.

I don’t get it. What’s so hard to understand? Franchise QBs just aren’t available that often. Retreads, dopers, never-was, shoulda-beens — perhaps even dog fighters — you’ll find in abundance. But franchise QBs at age 25? Let me know if you think...

The All NL-Central team…if only to give Cardinals fans something to cheer about.
1B- Pujols, Lee, Fielder, Berkman, Votto, LaRoche
The Pick: Albert Pujols. Pujols may not be on steroids but he should be checked for human DNA. Last year I selected Prince Fielder only because...
