Neal Cotts gone, Cubs win-coincidence?

I think not. Neal Cotts ouster to AAA not only made MY day today, but the roster moves appear to have motivated the Cubs as they beat the lowly Pirates 5-2 today. Call-ups Fox and Blanco did their best to let Sweet Lou know they wanna stay in the Majors for awhile with RBI's for both-good job boys! Now, keep it up. Big Z, unfortunately, went bat shit crazy today (in patented Z fashion) and has most likely earned himself some type of suspension.

Victim of the week-the Cubs snazzy beverage machine in the dugout. Earlier in the week, feisty Canuck Ryan Dempster punched it after a not-so-good performance and then, today, Big Z took a bat to the poor thing! How are the boys supposed to get their Gatorade now?

So, the Cubs have now won two in a row after losing eight. I'm hopeful that they are starting a new winning streak and will start playing like I know they are capable of. It won't be easy, they have the MLB's best team, the Dodgers (the DODGERS? Really???), this weekend. Here's hoping the new additions will continue to contribute and here's hoping Ted Lilly will be his usual bad ass self on Friday.

GO CUBS GO!
